Sasi's parents are extremely poor. Mother does some house cleaning here and there, but father is often drunk and beats his wife and steals her earned money to buy booze. The mother found that an impossible situation for Sasi to grow up in and asked Pastor Abraham to take him into the home, where he is safe and can build his future. Sasi now plays a lot with the other children playing ball and board and later would like to work in the care sector to help others.
The children's home in Chirala was created after the devastating tsunami in 2004. Children lost their parents and family and were left alone.

We deliberately do not have a CBF quality mark. However, we do meet a number of important conditions of this quality mark. One of the reasons that we do not have this quality mark is the costs that are charged for this; this would significantly increase our overhead costs. We prefer to spend this money on the projects we support.
