El Shaddai - The Orphanage

2008-02-25T00:38:00.001+08:00

The Vision is to house 2000 orphans. This is to be done by faith in God. Our belief is that God can heal AIDS today. Most of these chidlren will come from AIDS related families, probably having lost their parents to AIDS. It is envisioned that we will build 200 houses , such as the above, to house 10 orphans. This non profit making company is a charity and all the money goes to the orphans. No government agency is involved and all the work is done by weeded out and proved, (by God) born again Christians.

Friends of Mulanje Orphans

2008-02-25T00:21:00.001+08:00

Friends of Mulanje Orphans ( FOMO ): FOMO was established in 2000 to aid Orphans in Mulanje, a district of Malawi, Africa. The seeds of the idea for the formation of FOMO stemmed from the many harrowing stories relayed back to Mary Woodworth from her friends and relatives still living in her home village in Mulanje. During a visit early in 2000, Mary and Keith were able to see and hear of the desperate plight of many of the local Children.
Determined to make the idea of FOMO a reality, Mary contacted relatives and friends who over the years had been helping many orphaned children. From this small beginning FOMO became a reality and aims to provide and enhance the health, education, food security, meet the basic human needs and develop the potential of all the needy and orphaned children of Mulanje.

The name of our Orphanage is "Living Hope Orphanage home". This was started with 2 children. Now became 30 children. I am totally depended on local contributions only. But all our people are very poor and no offerings are coming from the church. Now I became helpless and thus searching for a Godly person like you. Children are aged from 3 to 12 years. Those are all sweet little kids. Due to my disability they are being half starved and are crying in their midsleeps also. This is my present situation.

GOM Human Welfare Center Orphanage - India

2008-02-23T00:01:00.001+08:00

We have a team of pastors and evangelical women of the Bible, doing the Lord's work. We reach rural, tribal and coastal areas. In a month we visit a number of villages. We arrange street meetings, seminars and conventions. Church planting is the main activity of our Gospel work, and relief and development work. Many of our pastors do not have any houses and also they have no constructed churches. They conduct the prayers in thatched houses, under trees and sometimes on the side of the road. But we are steadfast to see that the Lord's work is done. We have no any connected with any organization and we have no support from anywhere Outside.
We have an orphanage in which we are looking after 30 children when we found them they were unsheltered and away from comfort and parental love. We collect donations from our fellow Christians to meet their needs. We need some generous sponsors to take up the care of at least one or them. In fact, their condition is very pathetic. Please remember them in your regular prayers. Allow me to tell you about the orphanage system, and explain to you about the existing conditions of orphaned children in India. Here, these orphan are increasing day by day at a rapid rate. Because of their family disorganized conditions, in the lapse of their beloved parents, and due to the diastase conditions of natural calamities, these orphans are a generation on geometrical progression. Here these group of victims called as "parking boys", "young rascals", and as "pousin".

Jesus Christ orphan home

2008-02-22T23:57:00.001+08:00

I am pastor Baburao from bapatla town, Andhra pradesh state, south India. Bapatla is also a parliament Constituency and well noted in India and abroad.

I am saved by his grace while I was very young in the year 1979 and baptized in the year 15-09-1979, Mark 16:16

I obeyed his high calling to preach the Gospel to the un-reached heathen in India and surrendered my self to the lord. I completed my theological training in “Maranatha Bible Training Institute”, Madras and the lord guided me to start my Evangelistic work in Bapatla. Baptla town is not my native place and I was new to that area. The lord outpoured his spirit and many heathen saved and a church established.

Presently besides the church and Gospel ministry the lord guided me to establish an Orphan home. I started this with all faith and with no sponsorship. The lord blessed me with four children and they are also working with me for the lord still they are very young. Pray for all my ministry. Church and family also for this orphan home. I request you to pray and sponsor a child or more as the lord directs guides you.

Our orphan home:
Our orphan home presently accommodates 30 children who are away from parental love and care. It requires approximately 20$ to look after a child for to feed and to provide them good education besides providing all hygienic conditions.

Ashanilaya Orphanage

2008-02-22T23:51:00.000+08:00

MASARD (Mass-based Association for Social Service and Rural Development)
1201/B, Mittal Towers, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Bangalore – 560 001, Karnataka State, India
Telephone: 91-080-25585467 E-mail: welgifts@vsnl.com

In 2004, MASARD established Ashanilaya orphanage at Egipura in Bangalore. Poor sanitation, inadequate housing, illness, poverty and an unsafe environment all contribute to the need for care of a large number of children living in Bangalore’s slums. All of the children cared for at Ashanilaya are orphans, have been abandoned by the parent/s or do not have relatives that are able to adequately care for them.

Ashanilaya currently cares for 20 orphaned children and employs three full time staff to provide 24 hour care. All of the children are educated at a nearby school and have the opportunity to take part in activities such as dancing, singing and sports at the orphanage under the supervision of Ashanilaya staff. The children stay at the orphanage until they have completed their studies and are able to join the workforce.

All of the staff and volunteers at Ashanilaya help to create an atmosphere where the children can feel at home. Ashanilaya endeavours to:

Make the children feel wanted and loved
Provide a safe and secure environment
Provide guidance and support
Encourage healthy habits and humanistic values
Make it possible for the children to imagine a better future for themselves

Until recently, Ashanilaya had been relying on the generous contributions of members and staff of MASARD who have been contributing part of their monthly salaries to the cause. In addition to this, eight children at Ashanilaya receive monthly/yearly contributions from their sponsors to meet the costs of education, food, healthcare etc. However, at present the funds received through these means is inadequate to meet the day-to-day running costs of the orphanage.

Our aim is to increase the number of children supported by sponsors and to seek out independent sources of income above and beyond this to improve the facilities at the orphanage.

Increasing the amount of funds we currently receive for the maintenance of Ashanilaya will become more urgent in the coming months. In the wake of the tsunami that hit coastal areas of India in December 2004, MASARD set up a temporary facility in Tamil Nadu to care for children orphaned by the disaster. This temporary facility will be closing in the coming months and MASARD expects that 10-12 children will need to be brought to Bangalore to be cared for at Ashanilaya.

For this children home maintenance I depend on Tithes and Offerings of my Church Members and we are collecting small Donations from Friends and generous people. But now the local people are not willing to give the Donations Continuously. Because Now-a-days prices have gone up so high. That a common man cannot reach them. In such a condition we are not able, not in a position to feed the Orphan Children and Unable to fulfill their basic needs properly. If we forsake them to their fate, their previous Lives will ruined.

CHRISTIAN MISSION FOSTER - HOMES FOR ORPHANS – SIERRA LEONE

2007-12-20T23:49:00.000+08:00

Christian Mission Foster Homes for Orphans (CMFO) is a non-governmental, non - political and non - profit making venture set up purposely to help in alleviating the suffering of war - affected children such as orphans, abandoned and distressed street children, and children of both Lunatic & amputated parents.

"CMF$$O" was founded on the 5th of April 1999 as a result of the carnage and mayhem perpetrated against poor and innocent children in January 6, 1999. This date was recorded for its horrible events just as September 11, 2001 in America.
THE STATE OF WAR,-AFFECTED CHILDREN IN SIERRA LEONE
In Sierra Leone, the ten (10) years bloody civil war has left thousands of children orphaned, abandoned, handicapped, unaccompanied, displaced or in refugees. Many of these children are on the streets been used as sex trade and victims of various forms of abuse to earn their living.
Child abuse has reached epidemic proportions in our country. During the war, many of these children were adopted and giving drugs and used as child soldiers. The war is now over but suffering continues for these children and special preference to girls. Most of our children are not going to school.
They are living in poor health conditions because of lack of adequate food, no good clothing and poor shelter. Their parents or guardians cannot afford the amount of money needed to pay school fees. They are either unemployed or too old to work.

I am P.Anil Kumar, a resident of Ponnur, Guntur Dt., Andhra Pradesh , South India. I have been ministering Gospel service and worship of Lord for several years. Since my parents born in Christian family. I was greatly insisted to serve for the human kind with the same inspiration. I was called by His grace to do something for the welfare of the little kids and orphans while we go on with Gospel out reach service in different rural villages, we have observed some children just roaming in streets like wagabonds with no support. These children parents were killed in some assassinations such as fire accidents, cyclones and the attacks of anti Christian community people in their respective areas. Thus the children are left helpless and looking forward for any lift even their relatives also have neglected them to bring up the livinghood of these kids.

The site is also dedicated to the good Sisters of St. Francis of Williamsville who served as our guardians throughout our time at the home and who taught us right from wrong and instilled within us good Christian values.

Anyone associated with 564 Dodge St. over the years have been a integral part of our lives. You could have been a nun, a teacher, a super-visor, a scoutmaster, a classmate, or just a friend, but for a brief moment in time, you touched our lives.

Even though years have passed, we can still recall such names as "Pop" Deinhart, Joseph Bleckinger, Miss O'Brien, Mr. Riley, Walter Scott, Miss Burgasser, Frank Abbott, Anthony Weibel, George Weinfurtner and so many others.

All of you touched our lives and molded us into the individuals we are today. We thank you most sincerely for all that you gave to us.

A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION

2007-12-11T23:23:00.000+08:00

SAVING LIVES, BUILDING FAMILIES
Today, there are millions of children in underdeveloped countries who have no parents, food, clothing, or access to medical or emotional care. While the majority of these children are dying from malnutrition, their living conditions are so poor that even diaper rash can be deadly. This situation is not isolated; in fact, it is growing at an ever-increasing pace.

In contrast, there are thousands of families in developed countries trying to adopt. However, they are faced with a complicated and cost prohibitive adoption process. This gap continues to widen as more children die and families struggle to find the resources to adopt.

A Child's Hope Foundation is bridging this gap by creating adoption orphanages and providing a healthy environment for infants and young children, awakening their spirits while seeking a loving family for them. With your help we can save lives, build families, and be a child's hope for love and belonging in this world!

DIVINE SHAKTI FOUNDATION

2007-12-07T23:35:00.000+08:00

The goal of the Divine Shakti Foundation is to provide for the well being of women, their children, and orphaned/abandoned children in India. The trust will identify needs and design and implement programs to support women and children (especially orphaned/abandoned children) to be socially and financially self-sustaining. The trust will raise awareness of the problems facing women and children through education and mass communication, as well as being engaged in activities for the preservation of mother earth especially protecting holy Ganges river and providing a safe and natural environment for India’s revered cows.

The first project of the trust focuses around the creation of a orphanage/sanctuary for some of the young souls who have come upon hard times. This orphanage we are planning to build for girls will be a beautiful haven where they will receive not only food and shelter, but also an education and training to help them become productive members of society. Further, they will receive guidance, support and love, empowering them to truly embody "The Divine Mother" rather than to fall victim to feelings of worthlessness.

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.

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

2007-11-28T21:18:00.000+08:00

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.

They were practically left abandoned and uncared for.
