Established in 1998, Hermon is a unit of Open Arms Educational and Charitable Trust registered and recognized under the govt. of India, Tamil Nadu. The orphanages are located in various parts of South India focusing the underprivileged and orphans with special concentration on the children whose parents are affected by AIDS and are working as commercial sex workers for their living. It is an established mission oriented work with a mission to serve, love and uplift the less privileged.

The vision of Hermon is to establish children’s Homes in various districts based on a family model, where resident mothers care for children with the assistance of other staff. Hermon receives children who have been permanently left as orphans due to a combination of illness, death, and severe abuse. Physical, psychological, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs are the main thrust of this mission. Quality care is our slogan rather than just providing for a number of children.
