Abundant Life Ministries:
Children are cared for here whose parents suffer from the disease leprosy. The children are cared for in the children's home, of YWAM. in this way the children grow up in a healthy living environment. The parents receive structural support such as medication and care.
In India, people with leprosy are often seen as untouchable, do not belong to society and receive no help from the government. The children of leprosy patients automatically get the same stamp and are rejected from an early age, receive no education and thus have no chance to participate in society. By taking the children into the home, in collaboration with the parents, they are taken care of, taught and seen as beautiful individuals who are going to build their future. In this way they can break the poverty cycle for themselves and for their families.
Sahara Ministries:
This children's home takes care of children who no longer have parents or children who come from an extremely poor family. The children are lovingly cared for here and are given the opportunity to go to school. Because the parents are not able to take care of the children, the children are often left alone. The parents then go begging or collect plastic to sell and this creates a worrying situation. Children go looking for their parents anyway and if they are not noticed, no one will know where they are. These children, whose home situation is unsafe, are taken care of by Ramchand and his team. The children can go back to school, have structure and belong to a large family with friends and have hope for the future!
