School Buildings in India

 
  •    Many of the children do not have class rooms, no desks, no chalk boards
  •  Children have to attend school out side while sitting on the ground.

Activities of the Orphanage:


Many of the children, Grace Children's Orphanage cares for, have lost one or both of their parents due to the harsh climates of India. India is highly susceptible to natural calamities, that happen often. Disasters like cyclones, floods, fire, road accidents, etc., where the children loose their parents and have no one to take care of them.  

Other children loose just one of their parents in these disasters and end up becoming very poor. The orphanage extends care for these children in one parent families, too.

 If a cyclone were to hit the little school building, how many of those children do you suppose would survive?   

From a synopsis done by IndiaOneStop.com, India has the world’s largest number of poor people. Out of nearly 1 billion population, an estimated 300 – 400 million are below the poverty line, 75 % of them living in rural areas.


Grace Children’s Orphanage helps below poverty line children in their community and surrounding areas, by helping them to attend school. With out a good education many of these children will end up either child laborers working in sweat shops or as prostitutes and being exploited for sex. Who should have to live this way? In India impoverished families are so poor they can’t even afford to by their children a note book for school. A note book costs less than one rupee. Many of the children that do attend school do not have the proper attire and usually have no shoes. Grace Children’s Orphanage provides many of the items these children need to be able to attend school; Paper, pencils, pens, clothing, shoes and the list goes on. 
 

Help for area Widows:

       

Grace Children’s Orphanage has a special fund for widow’s in their area and surrounding villages. At present they are sponsoring 100 widow’s from 10 villages. They give these widows $5.00 a month to help them pay for food and medicine. They also conduct a Widow’s Fellowship meeting every 6 months, in different places, to ascertain their well-being and meet any emergencies the women may have. The orphanage also distributes clothing, personal care items and household goods like laundry detergent and dish soap to the widows.   

Please get involved, and help us to help them make a difference in their part of the world.

I wish that I could. I just lost my job this past week. I wish that I could help take care of some of these children myself. My heart is sent out to you and these children. I feel deep down in my soul that this is a honest a worth while cause. My prayers will be sent for each child you sever and those that you are unable to serve.
