The aims of Orphan Hope (India) is to help support widows & orphans, and the poor and needy within the Andhra Pradesh area of South East India.
How we do this:
There are a number of schemes that Orphan Hope finance in this area.
The Shekinah Centre -
This is headed up by Vijay and his wife Rita Jessi. They now have 2 children, Donna Isabella aged 8, and Nancy Grace aged 2. The family live in the centre and from it they provide before and after school lessons for the poor and needy children of the area. This year 76 children have been attending and most of them have achieved higher than average grades in their end of year exams. We feel this is remarkable when we consider that these children are from generations of uneducated people who even today sign documents with a thumb print! Many of these children are receiving scholarships for further education, and at least 75 who have gone through our system and are now grown, have good jobs and are able to support their whole families because of this.
The widow’s programme is also ongoing. Food and clothing as well as emotional support is provided at the centre.
The approximate costs for this work is £8000.00 for the year! This covers the expenses for Vijay and Rita Jessi, as well as providing school uniforms, books, bags, shoes etc. for each child to be able to attend the local government schools; as well as the food and clothing for the widows, and a community meal one or two times throughout the year!
The Shekinah Centre has become a hub of the community, and Orphan Hope (India) is very happy to be able to continue this work.
Fresh Water Bore Wells -
Around 2016 Orphan Hope (India) began funding the drilling of fresh water wells in remote villages of the Andhra Pradesh area. Our aim is to have complete well number 50 by the end of December 2024. Many people have provided funds for a well for various reasons – often in
memory of a loved one who has passed. These wells provide clean fresh water for whole villages, where once the only source of water would be dirty rivers or even worse, man made water ponds – many people become ill and even die from using dirty water. At present, the cost of one bore well is £1600.00. The contractor keeps the price the same no matter how deep he has to drill – he sees that this work helps the people and so keeps the price the same – the normal policy for bore wells is that you are charged depending on how deep it needs to be drilled! We are very thankful to have a good relationship with this contractor because we always know how much we need to raise in order to finance the next well!
Leprosy & HIV –
The work we do with Syam & Vijaya who head up the work at the leprosy centre is actually quite minimal. They never ask for funding unless they are desperate. Orphan Hope (India) financed the building of their community centre, which is used as a community centre, hospital, soup kitchen and even a hostel.
There is no real budget for this work. A few people donate to this cause specifically, and so the funds are transferred whenever the need arises.
The Dumps project –
At present there are no funds for this work. Our aim is to try to raise awareness that over 75 families live on the dump 24/7. Their only income is from selling items they may find whilst searching through the rubbish dumped there.
We hope that we can raise funds to provide essentials for these poor families on a permanent basis. However we do realise that the funds may not be available, and so we may have to look at doing something less formal and on a less regular basis. We will discuss this in more detail at our next meeting!
