The Tribal Women and Child Development Trust was started by three women: V. Jhansi Bai, R. Jyothi, and Mary P Ramavathu, a medical doctor who has dedicated her life to ministry. Mary has spread her knowledge of the Gospel for several years among the Banjara and has since completed her degree in theological studies at the Baptist University of the Americas in San Antonio, Texas. Now she is working on her post-graduate degree in theological studies at Central Baptist Theological Seminary located within the United States in Kansas.
