Serving Children in India

AT A GLANCE:

As the seventh-largest country by area, and the second-most populous country, India is praised as a vibrant multilingual, and multi-ethnic society. Despite all this, the country continues to face the challenges of poverty and corruption. No one feels this more than its children. By 2021, researchers believe the orphan population could reach 24 million.

Population: 1.3 billion

Capital: Dehli

Religion: Hindu (79.8%), Muslim (14.2%) Christian (2.3%)

Language: Hindi (41%), Bengali (8.1%), Telegu (7.2%)

Ministry Overview

In a land with many gods, we seek to share the Gospel with orphaned and vulnerable children while training adults to share the Gospel and change lives for eternity.

We reach orphans and abandoned children—90% of whom come from a Hindu background—sharing the love, freedom, and grace of Jesus Christ.

Areas of Focus

Here is how we have worked with you since 2009 to reach orphans in India.

DISCIPLESHIP
EDUCATION
HOLISTIC CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Because most of our 6 home managers are pastors in the local churches, the children in our care are exposed to good, solid Christian teaching and discipleship both at formal and informal times on a regular basis.

The children in our care do the main part of their education in local government schools, but we provide tutors to work with them one-on-one to help them academically.

We give the children in our care as many opportunities as possible to be part of extracurricular activities such as sports, quiz competitions, etc.
