At Charity Home we accommodate girls from very backward families giving them food, clothing and education free of charge.
Poverty and unemployment are the greatest problems in India. The per capita income of the average person in India is very small and many people live under the poverty level. Daughters are normally considered a burden, and hence, are neglected. Many are not sent to school, being forced to labor 12 hours per day for a meager sum.
To give meaningful lives to such girls, Charity Home for Children was established in 1986 with eight girls. Now, we have 50 girls. They are either orphans or semi-orphans. All of them come from poverty-stricken families who cannot afford to provide for them. To make matters worse, many of these families are affected by the evils of liquor and drugs.
All the girls of Charity Home are given a chance to complete high school. After graduation, they are given vocational training such as tailoring and paramedical courses.
We give sewing machines to those who completed the tailoring course so they can make a living of their own. We have already provided 12 such machines. Each machine costs about $75.00. The girls who choose paramedical courses such as Lab-Technician training or X-Ray training are employed in hospitals with satisfactory remuneration. There are six such girls currently working in different hospitals.
Advanced students are sent for higher studies. They attend two more years in the school and then pursue nursing courses. We have educated five such girls who are employed in hospitals. Two of our girls went to college for higher studies. One of them, after receiving her Bachelor degree is working as a teacher. Another has just completed her Masters degree, while another is studying for B. Sc. (Nursing). Some of our girls go on to marry.
Every year we celebrate Christmas in Charity Home, and all the girls are given some material gift which will be useful to them. Mrs. Spurgeon (pictured below) leads this ministry.
We invite you to support a girl in Charity Home. To do so, we need a minimum of $12.00 per month. Use the support link below to find out how you can send a check to Charity Home and support one of these wonderful young ladies!
