Widow & Orphan Care
Depending on the needs of the community served, our partners' care for the destitute ranges from community-based care to full-time homes for women and children. When the environment of those served is contrasted with what their fate would be otherwise, it is an amazing picture of transformation in the lives of these women and children.
Training & Mentoring
Leadership training programs equip those who have been trained to go out and share what they have learned with others. The multiplication effect enables our partners to train more and more people with information that can change their lives, their families and their communities.
Community Development
High mortality, low literacy rates and limited education keep many Indians stuck in poverty. Our partners manage community development programs focused on equipping people with life skills that can help them break the cycle of poverty in their families.
