The basic needs of our children in India

Below please find how easy it is to sponsor the needs of our children in Maria Sharan and other places in India. It is not possible to help everyone in the world at once. However, it is possible to help one person. So, if you feel it upon your heart to help in Charity, why not choose one person somewhere and subsidise their food and care?

You can choose to
- support a child at Maria Sharan - contact msharan98 @yahoo.com  
- fund the education and care of an orphan, street child, child in disadvantaged circumstances, or child whose parent/s are invalided and unable to work and educate/care for their children, but who love their children and wish to keep them at home

- support an indigent person rescued from the streets

- support someone rescued from being traded on the street, and fund their education and health care for a better life

- organise funding for a group caring for those in need, for homeless shelters, for soup kitchens.

- fund the care of an elderly person rescued from the streets

- support one mother and unborn child to have a safe delivery (see the wonderful programme run by registered nurse Arlene Samen, One HEART at One Heart World-Wide‏@OneHeartWW.

This is a non-profit organization aiming at reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and delivery
