Orphan Care :
Do You Know ?
In India over 15 million children live as a bonded child labors?
More than 18 million children live in the streets, platforms, homeless and without hope?
Close to 2 million children do not live to see their first birthday?
Over 500,000 are forced into child prostitute?
Over 100 million children in India between 6 to 14 years of age are outside the school system and therefore highly likely to be child labors?
India, one of the largest democracies in the World has a Population of over 1.3 billion as of today. Most of the people in India are living below the poverty line and are facing many problems, viz., lack of food, shelter, health care, education and un-employment and thus the people live in utter poverty. Poverty has always been recognized as the major cause of death and disability. Poverty brings on lack of safe Drinking Water, inadequate food, poor health care and poor education. All these will have effect on health. The poverty situations in Indian context, reflects in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The families in slums and rural areas are normally large and often face the problems and the earning members of the family unable to cope up with the situations. Sometimes they may not get work to earn. Eventually they migrate to other places in search of livelihood or starve to meet death or disease. The struggle of the poor starts in the womb. The child in the womb suffers from the consequences of malnutrition in the mother. The families that are living in slum areas of different places are daily wages laborers. They are living in utter poverty. They are unable to fetch their square meal a day. Some of the parents admitting their children in to the schools . But they are unable to continue their children become they are not able to pay the fees in the school. That’s reason the children are being dropped from the school.
Based on the resource we have little opportunities like tithes and love offerings, and the need of children, we bring them to our Orphan home and provide food, shelter, clothes, education and medicine to them. Many of the children have one or both parents living, but the parents are too poor to care for them and they ask the pastors and Christian orphanages to provide care and an education for their children. Other children I picked up from trash bins, bus stops, markets, streets and some of their parents died by accident, illness, from AIDS.
This Orphanage was started with 3 street children with a vision of helping the Orphans who are in millions in India. We want to help at least a few children out of them. At present we have 38 children in the Orphanage and need to have support. This Orphanage is managed on faith. We are pray to God to have 200 children in the Orphan home and to help them in providing food, clothes, Shelter and Education. We came and contact with many orphans and semi-orphans who starve to death unless they are cared for. Many Social Service Organizations are doing yeoman services, but not able to cope up with the growing need. Many children are deprived of the basic needs of the life. Such as food, clothing, shelter, education etc. They suffer from malnutrition. They were found in the streets, bus stations, public parks, and railway stations. These were their resting places during the nights.
In our orphanage there are Orphans, Semi Orphan and Street Children . The problem of orphan / street children is due to the deaths of HIV/AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage of deserted / widowed / divorce women, absence of love and security in the families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking / Sexually exploited girls; these orphan and street children are left without care and support. These children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in anti-social, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these children in the national building by providing care, support protection and Christian education in our ORPHAN CHILDREN HOME.
Our orphanage is a part of our gospel ministry .It’s an opportunity our church shares the hope of Jesus Christ with orphans on regular basis and impoverished children through gospel centered Christian education with the goal of making disciples and planting churches.
Now In these days it is very hard to feed the kids as there are no sufficient offerings from our church. What we earn is meant only for the house rents. We are in a very disastrous situation even unable to feed this kids. We are running our orphanage with very little opportunities. Due to financial crisis we are unable to provide quality food, clothing and proper shelter to our orphan kids.
We are desperately in need of support from the donors and philanthropists to meet the needs of our destitute Kids .
Please extend your kind heart by helping us monetarily in saving the kids out of starvation. We all shall be thankful to you through out our lives. Your every help shall be highly appreciated in His kingdom.
