ORPHAN CARE.
Due to the crippling effects of extreme poverty and disease in South
Asia, millions of children are orphaned, roaming the streets in gangs or
falling victim to child prostitution, human trafficking or forced labor.
India has more orphans than any other nation: 35 million. Our orphanage in South India acts as a safe harbor in the midst of this
darkness, offering orphans a way out of the dead-end of despair and
hunger. Through the work of our
organization, these precious children are provided a loving home centered on Biblical principals.
Thanks to newly expanded facilities, we now have room to bring
in many more children. |

WIDOW'S SEAMSTRESS PROGRAM.
Our Widow's Seamstress Business Initiative is successfully
empowering widows who are among the poorest of the poor in South Asia.
Many widows in this part of the world are socially shunned and often
pulled into the darkness of prostitution. But Peace Gospel is offering widows a way out of their poverty
and despair. As we receive sponsorship funds from donors like yourself, widows are taken through a 4 month training program and
then equipped with a sewing machine and basic supplies. This allows
widows to start a practical in-demand business that provides for their
family. Recently the program has been expanded to include non-widows who are facing extreme poverty in the slums. |

SLUM OUTREACH.
Millions of children live in the Indian slums with no opportunity to receive an education, let alone any normal sense of nourishment or hygiene.
Our education center, "The Children's Hope Center" is located in one of the largest slum areas of India, in the city of Hyderabad (pop. 8 million).
We're in need of finding scholarship sponsors to bring in several children we have identified as meeting our profile for at-risk candidates,
namely children aged 5 to 7 living in shanty homes in the slums, found scavenging in the main city trash heap looking for recyclables on
behalf of their parents or relatives. Our education center provides a well-rounded education including a computer lab, hot meals, hygiene supplies and
medical care for the new students brought in. Through this program, we're seeking to attack the core issues that perpetuate the cycle of poverty and
put children at risk for human trafficking. |
