Living in a very small world . . . |
Asha Nivas is a refuge for a unique mix of children from remote mountain villages of southern Odisha. Some have been orphaned or left destitute by recent waves of civil unrest. Others are simply poor, whose parents have sent them to the home to relieve financial pressures on the family and to give their children opportunities for an education, regular meals, basic healthcare, and a future. From 2015 until now these children have been living in a small, crowded rental facility without running water, bathrooms, a kitchen, or beds. They have been sleeping in close quarters on pallets arranged on the concrete floors. The completion of the main floor of our new facility has relieved much of the pressures of day-to-day life as they have group meals and classes there, but we are looking forward to a second-floor dormitory that will dramatically improve sleeping arrangements.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
Brick and mortar merely provide shelter from the elements, but the soul of a child needs so much more. Long before construction started and long after the dust of construction has settled we remain focused on providing a healthy environment for these children that includes good nutrition, decent clothing, basic healthcare, educational opportunities, and most importantly hope. By sponsoring a child you can help ensure that a child receives this on-going support, plus the joy of knowing someone loves them and prays for them. You, perhaps more than anyone or anything else have the power to change the course of a child's life through your love, prayers, and support.
