Nonprofit Organization Management - , ,
There are too many children growing up in rural India are exposed to child labor and child trafficking. It is the poorest of the poor that reside in the villages we work in, so we are striving to reach out to those who are impoverished and destitute. As a result, we see so many needs, and it is often the children who suffer the most. Currently, we have 26 Covenant Child Development Centers (CCDC) in operation, providing over 650 children with a life changing education.In our Covenant Child Development Centers, twenty-five of the poorest children in the village (from every religious background) gather at the center, a program based in the local church, for two hours every evening. There they enjoy a hot meal and spend time doing their homework with a tutor on hand to help with difficult problems and questions, something illiterate parents are unable to do. Additionally, the children receive a private school education and also have the chance to spend time in worship, prayer, and learning the Scriptures. In this way, entire families are blessed and are being drawn to the Lord through this local church outreach and support for their village.For $750 a month, we can feed, tutor, & disciple approximately twenty-five children, six days per week. They can go to school each day with their homework done, a full stomach, and with a song in their hearts. Our goal is, with twenty-five children and 400 church buildings, we will be able to rescue, disciple, and educate 10,000 children.
