My story

When Teja was one year old, his father died. His mother then temporarily placed him with his grandmother. Not much later, she left, together with other women from the village, to look for work elsewhere and earn money. Unfortunately, she never returned. Since then, nothing has been heard from her. Teja's grandmother, now at an advanced age, was unable to take care of him sufficiently. She did not have sufficient resources to provide him with enough food and a safe living environment. Out of concern for his well-being, she eventually asked the team to admit Teja to the children's home, so that he would not become ill or malnourished.

Teja is supported by impact partner Fisherman Home

What does a day look like: The morning starts with a breakfast consisting of rice, an egg and milk. Then the children go to school. The little ones go to daycare. At noon, the children get lunch. After school, the children first do their homework, then they play games with each other. For dinner, the children get an Indian curry meal. Every day there is time for prayer and Bible study. Project information: The project in India that your sponsor child is part of is part of Mercy Orphanages and the office is located in Bhimavaram. The project was set up in 2003 by Evangelist R,. R. is an evangelist in India with an enormous passion for the underprivileged in his society. When he was walking through the city one evening and saw a lot of children roaming the streets, fighting for survival, he decided to set up a project to take care of these children. There are currently hundreds of children in the project. A large piece of land has been bought on which a large children's home has been built where all children can stay. At the moment, most of the children are staying in five different children's homes spread over three districts in India. The goal is to give the children a safe home, where they can heal, recover and blossom into strong, independent individuals who are rooted in the love of Jesus. Some children, especially the street children, live in shelters spread over 7 different villages. Project Held also supports children who are half-orphaned and live with their grandparents. They do not have the resources to take care of these children. Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials, housing and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
