Franciscan Family Apostolate

The Franciscan Family Apostolate was founded as response of the Secular Franciscan Order (S.F.O.) to the plight of the poor in the Third World. Following its founder, Saint Francis of Assisi, the poor Christ is found in the faces and lives of the poor and oppressed of the world. The Franciscan Family Apostolate’s mission is to encourage a witness to the Gospel life preached by Jesus – the care and concern for the stranger in need regardless of race, color, religion or country of origin.
In 1987 the Franciscan Family Apostolate became an independent 501(c)3 charity upon receipt of its tax exempt status from the IRS with the following stated goals:
To alleviate poverty, provide financial support and assistance to needy individuals and families in the Third World through outreach programs and related activities;
To develop and implement similar outreach programs in the United States; Lastly, to develop and implement educational programs in Third World countries and in the United States to provide occupational training.

DC Immunization Welfare Center

DC Immunization Welfare Center (DCIWC) shares the heartwarming feeling derived from helping poor children lead healthy lives. DCIWC received tax-exempt status in December 2003 and provided vaccinations to more than 750 children since December 2003. The purpose of the DC Immunization Welfare Center (DCIWC) is to provide vaccination not limited to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), diphtheria, polio, tetanus (DPT), whooping cough, and hepatitis B, through organized events to poor and needy children free of cost who cannot otherwise afford them. DCIWC has initiated activities in the state of Bihar, India, where children rarely receive immunization due to poor economic conditions and lack of education. Knowledge of immunization is far beyond many parents in the poorer areas of India. The Washington Post recently reported that 57% of women in India give birth at home attended by untrained health care providers. DCIWC's goal is to reach out to those parents and educate them about the importance of vaccination. http://www.dciwc.org/index.html DC Immunization and Welfare Center Mailing Address: 12331 Quince Valley Drive, North Potomac, MD 20878 Phone Number: 301-990-9562

DOCTOR - NDTV FREE TREATMENT

India's state-run AIDS control agency has nearly doubled the number of clinics giving free anti-retroviral drugs to tackle the fallout of the infection in the country with the world's most cases. Ninety-one centres are now operational from 54 about six months ago, and the number was expected to touch 100 by March, according to he the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). About 85,000 people were expected to take up the offer of free anti-retrovirals at the government health centres over the next six months, up from the 40,000 now. All 91 centres have specially trained and appointed doctors, counsellors and laboratory technicians to help initiate patients on ART (anti-retroviral treatment) and follow up regularly. India has the world's highest HIV/AIDS caseload at 5.7 million people, according to UNAIDS. Activists say the government needs to set up more free treatment centres at a rapid pace because many poor HIV-infected people cannot afford to buy drugs from private chemists. The ARV drugs from private retailers cost around 1,400 rupees ($31) a month, prohibitive for most people in a country where the average monthly income is around 1,750 rupees. Besides the 40,000 Indians currently receiving free drugs from government centres, gigantic public sector organisations such as the railways provide nearly 10,000 people free treatment.

Premananda Orphanage Centre

Premananda Orphanage Centre was started after the terrible 1996 cyclone which devastated the Prakasam, East, and West Godavari Districts of India. Thousands of people lost their lives, and more than one hundred thousand people were left homeless. During this tragedy we organized emergency relief for the victims and were moved by the deplorable conditions of the children who had lost their parents in the disaster. They were practically left abandoned and uncared for.
Premananda (Abode of Love and Joy) Orphanage Centre , dedicated to God for the service of destitute children, was officially blessed by founder Father Chopparapu Jojaiah and solemnly opened by co-founder Professor Jon James on 28 June 1998 in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh State, southern India

Talented and capable young people in developing nations often lack opportunities for basic education and vocational training, as well as the confidence, self-esteem, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in life and to break the cycle of poverty into which they were born.

Family Care Foundation equips these young people to make their way in the world. Then they become part of the long-term solution for the needs of their greater community.

Family Care Foundation provides both free academic education and on-the-job training in trades such as computer assembly and repair, electrical engineering, sewing and design, furniture construction and carpentry. Students also learn about people handling, teamwork, time-management, efficiency, personal development and presentation skills.
