Love India facilitates a child sponsorship program with our partner church organisation, JMHA, in Tamil Nadu, South India.

Child sponsorship is a time proven, easy, and effective method of relieving poverty related to orphans and children in need in developing countries.

What happens in the childrens home?
Some sponsored children live in a specially built home at JMHA. Education for future adulthood is a priority, and remaining family visit often. Children attend Sunday school regularly and are brought up in a home where caring for children in need is a natural response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Community Sponsorship
Where possible, children are supported in the community with their parent /carer, connecting and benefiting whole communities with the social work and services that JMHA carry out in their area.

Through Micah's Call, sponsorship of £18 a month allows JMHA to care for a child's every need.

Sponsorship provides:
Food, shelter, clothing, utilities including school and home supplies, toys and entertainment, education, healthcare, administration of sponsorship scheme, staffing of home and building maintenance.

Joining the sponsorship program is easy. Once you have filled in the application form and set up your financial giving, you will receve information and a photo of your sponsored child, and have the option to write a letter and keep in touch with your child.

A common story where JMHA is based

When visiting in July 2008, the UK Micah's Call team met this family. The children Uma (girl) and Prahdeep (boy) were with their mother. Their father was close to death in hospital suffering from TB. This is a sad, but common situation. Through Malaria, TB or Aids, children lose their parents often leave a family unable to both care for children through lack on income. Their mother asked JMHA to accept her children into the needy children's home while she cared for her husband before he died.

Now, Uma and Pradheep are looked after and provided for in the children's home, while their mother can visit them once a month, and the children will spend their holiday times with her in their village. A tragicsituation but a UK sponsor has already come forward to give them both the encouragement that although they have lost, they have found love and care through JMHA enabled by a sponsor's giving.
