Serving Orphans In

India

Our ministry in India seeks to reach orphans and abandoned children—90% of whom come from a Hindu background—sharing the love, freedom, and grace of Jesus Christ.

According to UNICEF, 29% of children in India drop out of school before completing elementary education, and most often, these children are the most marginalized.

So our team remains committed to the most marginalized—orphaned and vulnerable kids—in the community.

What We Strive to Provide to Every Child We Serve

Our belief in God and His grace in our lives energizes us for a specific work. With God’s help, every child we serve will be taught the gospel and how to be followers of Christ, not want for food, shelter, medical care, and clothing, receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future, and have access to continued love and support while transitioning into adult living.


Key Areas of Ministry in India

Discipleship

The majority of our home managers are pastors in local churches, so the children in our care are exposed to sound Christian teaching and discipleship, both formally and informally, on a regular basis.

Education

Though most of the children we serve attend government schools, we provide tutors to help them. The tutors provide academic support in a one-on-one setting. We give the children in our care as many opportunities as possible to be part of extracurricular activities like sports and competitions.

Because Your Money Should Go Where You Want It To Go

Lifesong administrative costs are already covered, so every penny of your received donation will go to help children in need.
