In India we support two Children’s Homes and two Widows’ Homes, led by our dedicated local partners. Over the last decade, we have worked to deepen and foster these partnerships through regular mission trips, consistent communication, and continual prayer for the transformative work being done.
What began in 2006 as a small effort to rescue orphaned children from the slums, streets, and dump yards has grown into a thriving ministry. Today, over one hundred children are being cared for daily—fed, clothed, educated, and given the love and support they deserve. In addition, our Widows’ Homes provide a sanctuary for women facing unimaginable hardship, offering meals, clothing, medical care, and a sense of community and hope.
Through these homes, lives are being restored, and hope is replacing despair for both children and widows in need.
Education
Through our pooled sponsorship program, we provide resources to care for the physical, spiritual and social-emotional needs of the children in our two orphanages. These kids are able to pursue an education and obtain vocational training through your support!
Training
Women are empowered to pursue their ambitions of starting their own sewing businesses at our two sewing centers. Thanks to your generosity, every woman who completes our 6+ month training is given her own sewing machine and supplies.
Care
Apple of His Eye Charity has opened a home for the elderly. Here, women (often widows) are able to come and receive life nourishing meals. The community that has formed around this home is one of love, respect, and support. Individuals care for each other physically, emotionally, and spiritually through prayer.
By digging wells and installing rain water harvesting systems, we have participated in the transformation of entire communities who now have access to clean drinking water.
A new water well can cost $2500 or more depending on location. Your donation of any amount can contribute to our next dig!
Bicycles are vehicles of opportunity in India. Apple of His Eye Charity provides bicycles for many purposes. As orphans get older, transportation becomes very important for getting to work or university. Bicycles are also provided for pastors to commute to remote villages where they help care for the sick and forgotten.
One way Apple of His Eye Charity provides for this need is through our annual summer bike ride: Cycle for a Cause, hosted in Canby, Oregon. Check out our Cycle for a Cause website for more details.
Apple of His Eye Charity was asked to help with a sanitation project for an entire village. At the time, men and women would relieve themselves alongside the road or wherever they could find privacy. The result of these unsanitary conditions was not only widespread disease but also the regular sexual assault of women and children.
Apple of His Eye Charity shared the need with our wonderful supporters and our community responded generously! 200 private lavatories were built providing privacy and security. Since then assault and disease have decreased dramatically!
