India is home to 1.1 million street children; another 12 million are homeless. Many are succumb to a life of prostitution or child labor; others die of preventable diseases or violence.
Each Hope Center will serve and care for up to 30 street children in both rural and semi-urban slum environments. We will share the Gospel while meeting their physical, emotional, and educational needs in a safe location.
The cost for starting one Hope Center is $5000, but every gift of any amount helps to reach that goal. It also enables us to continue each Hope Center for years to come.
To create an environment that protects children from the challenges of becoming part of the labor force and gives them an opportunity to build a strong foundation to develop their God given abilities to know, be, and do.
