The weekly routine is like in any boarding school, Monday to Friday being wholly focused on studies and professional training.
They wake up very early, eat breakfast, then the school bus drives them the 5 kilometres to the Ghazipur school where they attend their classes up to mid day when they return to the home at Kalitala to have lunch. They then freshen-up, and have some time to rest, and the remainder of the day is given over to studies supervised by the evening teachers until dinner time.
At the weekends they have a different programme based on activities organized between the girls and the staff in charge. There are excursions to different places of interest, games, sports, e-mail club, television, reading, painting, evening walks, visitors etc. The older girls are also involved in the maintenance of the home.
The medical care of the girls is run by the Kalitala Medical Unit. A paediatric doctor attends three days a week and a nurse and a nurse assistant are permanently resident in the home taking care of the on-going treatments, investigations, check ups, etc.
The nutrition of the girls is determined and supervised by the paediatrician. The girls have different menus through out the year according to the season. The ones who are having medical treatment follow a special menu prescribed by the doctor. The home has an industrial kitchen equipped with all the necessary equipment for the large number of meals that are provided.
The administration department of Kalitala supervises and controls regular activities such as security, transport, maintenance, personnel, supplies, stores, cleaning, supervising and girls care, time tables etc.
The girls who live in the Kalitala home have the chance to visit their families twice a year for ten days each time, the families can also visit the girls on the second Sunday of every month as it is Foundation policy to preserve the link between the girls and their relatives.

The Foundation is starting a vocational programme for the girls after they finish their studies and reach the age of 18, to help them in the initial period searching for a job and teaching them to take care of themselves. As with most Non Governmental Organisations (NGO) who are working with children,the Foundation will maintain links with the older girls by allocating a supervisor to monitor then until they are totally independent.
