AVADI ORPHAN HOME

This Children's Home was founded by Rev. Dr. Chelliah Russelliah in 1991 at Avadi, Chennai. It is one of the ministries of Gilgal Gospal Mission (GGM) and the first home for children opened by GGM in India. GGM missionaries implement GGM's vision Preaching Christ and Planting Churches" in these Provinces Ranga Reddy, Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh.) Kodaloor, Thiruvannamalai, Erode, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur (Tamilnadu).
Our missionaries come across three staggering evils in the remote villages of these Provinces. They are namely infanticide, child marriage and child beggars.If a mother consecutively gives birth to female babies the third child becomes a victim of infanticide The mother is afriad of the existing evil dowry. She worries that she will not be able to give a big sum of dowry for her girl's wedding. So after the second child she determines to kill the next female baby. She uses a simple method of applying some drops of opium or country poison on her breasts and feeds the baby and kills her. Some of our Children's Home children were rescued from this cruel practice of infanticide.

Secondly still child marriage is practiced in several interior and remote villages of these provinces. A girl child in marriage at the age of 9. The sadness of the child marriage is a 9 year old child getting married with a 30 year old man. Some of our children who are saved from this inhuman act of child marriage. Thirdly some evil hearted men in rural villages hurt children. They cripple the orhan children, make use of them for begging. These evil doers make their living and business through childern's begging. Some of our childen were brought out of this child begging business.
