EDUCATION That In this day and age, there are millions of people in the Third World that still never have the opportunity to go to school, these people struggle to survive and live in dire poverty. They are caught in this poverty trap all their lives. Millions can’t read or write.
CHILD ABUSE That In this day and age, hundreds of thousands of children from the age of 3 years old roam the streets without homes or families. It is a matter of Monumental shame that, of the 38 million street-children worldwide 23 million are in Asia. They are leading a wretched life, ill clad and hungry, sleeping on pavements. They are begging or allowing themselves to be exploited in different trades, like working on roads, picking rags or working in the fields, or in some cases exploited in far worse trades than these like prostitution etc.
HUNGRY That of the 31,000 children under 5 who die each day in developing countries, about half die from causes related to hunger. That’s one child dying for every breath we take.
More than 828 million people in developing countries around the world go hungry. They have to survive on fewer calories than their bodies require. They can’t live healthful or active lives, and are highly vulnerable to disease and death.
LEPROSY Leprosy has been around since 300 B.C. There are thousands of people in India with leprosy or have had it and left disfigured. In a few parts of the world leprosy is still a problem; much of it is to do with the very poor quality of life that some parts of the world have to endure. In many cases in India, people have suffered badly because they could not afford treatment in the early stages. Like many poor countries if you want treatment for any illness you need money. Even after treatment, thousands are left to fend for themselves.
MEDICAL HELP In Asia alone there are thousands of people dying or left disabled because they have no money for hospital fees or for medicine and tablets. And for some, not even the money to get to the hospital, which can be one or two hours away from where they live.
EVANGELISING Just over 2,000 years ago, Jesus told us to go into ALL the world and spread the GOOD NEWS. Yet 2,000 years on there are still around THREE BILLION people in the world that have never heard about Jesus Christ. In India alone there are so many thousands of villages still un-reached. There are 650,000 villages in India and over 70% of India’s population live in these villages. 500,000 of these villages have no church, and 400,000 villages are yet to hear the name of Jesus Christ.
POVERTY That the World Bank estimates that 1.3 billion people – 20% of the human race – live in “absolute poverty”. They survive on less than $1 per day and are too poor to afford an adequate diet and other necessities.
DRINKING WATER That thousands of children die from diarrhoea, malaria and other diseases in Asia every year. Drinking water is such a big problem. There are millions of families with impure water. Much more work has to be done.
LIVING ENVIRONMENT That in this day and age millions of people have to live in mud, straw or bamboo huts in Asia and beyond. Millions with no homes just building a shelter where some kind land owner will allow them to stay for a while.
GIVE A CHILD A CHANCE IN LIFE, GIVE THEM HOPE.
We ask you please to extend your love to desperately needy children, many live in extreme poverty.
Every day is a life and death struggle for children not strong enough to withstand disease because hunger has weakened their tiny bodies.
Others, who are healthy, have to stay at home because their parents cannot afford the school fees or even the books needed for school.
Your gift will help us to provide a basic education, and for some other necessities such as, clothing, food, medical care, clean drinking water etc.
Life in parts of India is a struggle for anyone, but the life of a child is even harder. Imagine, growing up in a world where you lack the very basics in life, food, clean water, medicine, shelter, and. School., But there is no money for school fees, so you stay home and wait for a miracle.
Life is hard, and yet, most of the world is unaware of the plight of any of the poor children. Growing up anywhere brings its share of problems, but growing up in areas of India is a struggle that is beyond imagination.
Many poor children are fortunate to be still alive at the age of seven or eight; many of their friends have died of things such as malaria, dysentery, malnutrition, and the like.
GIRLS
In many homes, a poor girl, will normally be at home alone with no schooling.. “Why” The answer to that is, a girl does not need school, she only needs to take care of the house, get a husband when she is older, have babies, raise a family, fetch water and cook, so it is believed
The future really does not look bright for these poor children It would be nice to learn how to read and write.
There are only two ways out of the slum and dire poverty in which the poor children live. One is to get an education and the other way is what their mother or aunt is doing, selling herself to men who have money and just might take a young girl as a live in 'girlfriend'.
These poor children are then trapped in this life unless they can get help. Many even try and end their lives to get away from this abuse. With your support we can and will change this for some. The more help we get the more we can do.
ROCK PILE KIDS
In India I have seen children sit for 12 to 14 hours a day on rock piles breaking large rocks down to small stones to fit into a crushing machine to make road building materials. Many are cut with flying rocks. They will spend all they life doing this for a small meal each day, they will work along side their families who in turn have spent all their lives doing the same thing. They just have a little hut near where they work to live in no water, no electric, no tables and chairs and for most not even a bed. This is their life.
Many of their parents have no education and were brought up on this work from childhood, and this is how it is from generation to generation. Thank God we have opened two free schools and one Children’s home so far over there to help some. We pray that God will guide us and help us get more funds to do a lot more and make a impact on this slavery.
PROSTITUTION
Many of the street girls (prostitutes) have been tricked, forced or sold into this wicked trade, and once trapped cannot see a way out of the pain and abuse that many suffer every day. Many try and even manage to end their lives to get away from this pain and abuse.
We are working with other missions that have set up programmes to help these girls. Taking them off the streets and away from this abuse. Giving them new hope and a new beginning. Helping to rehabilitate them into a new life and new found love. We take a number of tiny ones and place in our orphanage.
PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THEM
