Out of the population of one billion in India, around 400 million are children under the age of 18. Children under the age of 6 are about 158 million. About five million children (age 0-12) live in the slums. The total slum population in India is over 40 million. Every day thousands of children die without proper care, nutritious food or medical care. Millions of children do not have the privilege to go to school due to several reasons.
We started our orpahanage ministry in 1997. We take care of children who are abandoned and neglected. As they live with us, we not only meet their physical and emotional needs but also raise them up in a godly environment and teach them biblical truths. Recently, we discontinued the orphanage due to the unavailability of space. We accommodated our children with other orphanages in Delhi area.
Devika was born as a child of a leprosy patient, and her father was a blind leper. She grew up in a leprosy colony with no hope or a smile. Her mothers fervent begging was her only source of survival. She never had good clothes or an education. One of our Pastor brought her to our orphange, she is happy because the Lord has met her needs - physically, mentally and spiritually. She now graduated from High school and went for nursing.
Street / Slum Children's Ministry
Since we don't have the facility to accommodate orphans, we are concentrating on other children's ministry. Millions of children in India lives in slums. According to a 2009 survey conducted in the national capital of India (Delhi) have found that nearly quarter of a million children living in slums do not go have the proper schooling. The picture is very bad in the suburban area. SO we want to save more children by giving them food and an environment to grow up as a normal, healthy child.. You can sponsor a child with just $20 Dollars a month. This will help us to provide food, clothing, medicine, education etc. When you sponsor a child we will send you the information regarding the child and will keep you updated with the child's photos and letters. These children live with their parents who are unable to take proper care of their children. Please pray and support this wonderful ministry
