Orphaned children are greatly in need of care and protection, being among the most susceptible to extreme poverty, child labor, trafficking and sexual exploitation. Many of these children have been abandoned by their parents or their parents have died. There are so many of orphan children in the rural and tribal areas where we are working in Southern India. God commands us to protect and care for orphans and widows (Psalm 82:3 / 68:5). The Bible reveals God’s attitude toward orphans and widows: He cares very deeply for them. There are about 46 million widows in India - many communities still shun widows and they are abandoned by their families due to superstition or lack of resources to care for them. India has about 20 million orphans - about 11 million children were abandoned in India last year – many are girls – families choose not to or simply can’t take care of them.
