Overview

Mission

To raise awareness and resources for select international, Christian non-governmental organizations and individuals to support children, meet humanitarian/health needs and resource ministry tools.

What it reported doing in 2017

Funds for a home-based Christian orphanage, a registered NGO (FCRA) in Karnataka, India, to assist with food, rent, tuition, health and staff to care for ten children. In addition, funds were donated toward construction of a permanent home for the family and a non-residential trauma care center for severely abused and neglected children and youth. The objective of this orphanage is to provide quality living conditions, education and spiritual and emotional support for the ten children to become successful contributors in their community (10 children; 2 parents, 2 staff; full year program). The future trauma care center staffed by professionals/counselors will promote best practice, evidence-based knowledge and skills in working with vulnerable, exploited and orphaned children and their families. (Staff of 5-10; full-time program)
