It is a sad, but true fact that millions of children are born into destitution. Without enough nourishment to develop a health body they become vulnerable to diseases that regular children are able to resist. In many cases, their tender bodies give in, and give out, to preventable diseases such as diarrhea and malaria. Beautiful lives are plucked away, even before they are bloomed.

One out of every two childhood death is linked to hunger and malnutrition. Each day, some 1600 children die in India to diarrhea. If this is hurting, even worse is the condition of children who do not have anyone to call parents.

Social system and financial conditions prevent one out of every five children in India from going to school. Illiterate children almost never experience a childhood. They are dragged into child labor, mafia rings, or even worse, into child trafficking. Once trapped, there is rarely an escape to a normal life!

These lives are dear to the heart of God, and so are they to Sanma! In the state of Andhra Pradesh, Sanma operates a small children’s home named Grace Children’s Home. It is a home for the defenseless children. They are provided with a place to call home, cared by people whom they can call “parents”, and other children they can consider as their siblings.

In order to provide each child a sense of being part of a community, the Sanma Children’s Home locate a family who will provide the children a home. Sanma helps the families with the expenses of the child, and monitor the life of the child. Operating in this manner, Sanma is able to help more children, in a very cost efficient fashion. In this arrangement, a child’s living expenses can be met in a family setting with as low as $15. Tax deductible contributions you make towards this project will change many young lives.
