Poverty affects hundreds of millions in India from the 800,000 in the slums of Mumbai to the countless poor in the villages, we are making a difference! Around 40% of India’s children under the age of 3 suffer from malnutrition. Inadequate sanitation and lack of clean water multiply the water born diseases that impact most children.

In India, an estimated 900,000 people die yearly as a result of drinking unclean water. Many of the people we help are a part of the 600 million people that make up the lowest castes, a form of hierarchy based on lineage in which people have been discriminated for generations. On many occasions these people are treated less than humane and have been living without hope of change for centuries. 

Help us to show the rejected people of India how truly valuable they are and transform their lives forever. Below are some of the ways we are bringing help and hope to India. 

See tangible ways you can make a difference. To learn ways you can rally others for a specific cause see our take action ideas.

Please consider joining us on a GPartner trip to India and meet your sponsored child in person as well as bring help and hope to others in India. 

Children

In India alone there are an estimated 35 million orphan children. We know that at least 11 million are abandoned (90% girls), 3 million live on the streets, and 20 million of them are child laborers. Many of them are sold into bond slavery to pay a family debt. Up to two-thirds of these children suffer physical abuse and an estimated one-half of them suffer from sexual harassment or abuse. The facts are heart wrenching, but together we can change the lives of these precious children.

Since 1999, we have partnered with nationals in India and donors like you to make 15 children’s homes throughout Andhra Pradesh and in the Maharashtra State (two are in the slums of Mumbai). In these homes we have 621 children that we care for through sponsors like you. We have around 175 children that need sponsors. 

For $1 a day you can provide food, clothing, shelter, school supplies, tutoring, medical care, medicine, personal hygiene items, general care and love for an orphaned or abandoned child. Go here obtain more information about our child sponsorship program, to give a one-time gift or sponsor a child today. 

Clean Water Projects

In 2011 we completed our first water well project for a remote village in desperate need. As funding comes we are making plans for other villages that have no access to clean water. For $2,500 we can build one water well that will transform the future of hundreds of lives. Start a campaign to raise a portion of the funds or the whole amount. We have many ideas and examples for you to get your friends and community involved in giving life to a village by providing something as simple as clean water. 

Widows

Through donors like you we are also able to provide gifts and food for widows. In India widows in poverty are often abandoned by their relatives without any means of caring for themselves and/or their children. 

Disaster Relief

In India, over 650,000 people were displaced and countless children were orphaned as a result of the 2004 Tsunami. We stared two Children’s homes that house around 50 children that were orphaned from this catastrophe. 

Also, through donors like you, we have provided emergency relief and food to villages that were affected by floods and mudslides. 

Micro-Business 

In India, nearly 40% of the population lives below the poverty line. One way we help to bring long term results is providing the funds for a start up business that will give a person the training and tools necessary to provide for their family for a lifetime.  Currently our India micro-businesses include sewing and goat businesses. It costs $300 to purchase the training, tools and sewing machine. It costs $100 to provide 2 goats for a family to breed to sell the offspring and also sell the milk to make profit. You can make one time donation or see our ideas of how you can join together with others to make a difference!

When you have helped one of the least of these have you helped me. – Jesus
