 The zenana missions expanded from just home visits to open mobile clinics in rural areas, women only hospitals and all girl schools, all staffed and run by women both recruited in Britain and those recruited and trained locally in India.The success of the Baptists in gaining local acceptance would lead to the creation of Anglican zenana missions in 1880, and the adoption of similar tactics in countries which practised segregation of men and women, the society became active in Qing dynasty China in 1884, Japan in 1886, and Sri Lanka (at that time known as Ceylon) in 1889.The work of the society was supported by the endowment of trusts by notable people of Victorian England.
