Hallelujah Children’s Home

Hallelujah Children’s Shelter in New Bowenpally housed 16 destitute girls (8-19 years), most of who have been abandoned or are at risk of being exploited by their families.

This 100 sq. yd. home was run by Pastor John Victor Seelam. He has been looking after the girls with his own meager earnings and sporadic help from others since 2004. The Children’s Shelter has a monthly expense of approximate Rs.50,000 per month.

Aid by Amara
  • Food, Provisions, Gas, Electricity and a lady cook/warden.
  • Notebooks & Stationary – All the girls go to government schools and return to the shelter each day for further lessons in values, self-confidence and safety by the pastor.
  • Providing a clean, healthy and safe environment to live and sleep in.
  • Provide basic medical care on a monthly basis.
Outcome

Amara took 100% responsibility for the purchase and delivery of all the provisions and food that was needed and no money was handed over to the shelter. Each child was provided for and personally monitored by us.

Hallelujah Children’s Shelter’s registration & paperwork was not approved and had to shut operations. Efforts were made to relocate the children to other shelters while some decided to go back to their families. Funds raised have been redirected to Grace Social and Educational Society (GSES).
