In this time of worldwide crisis, we have hope and joy based on our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the reason for the season! We want the children of EWM Children’s Homes and all the underprivileged children that we can reach to know that God loves them, and they are not forgotten.

Your much–appreciated gift of £20/$25  will play an important part in bringing joy and hope into the lives of these underprivileged children. Thank you for your love and compassion! Please visit our Page Joy of Christmas/Christmas with the children to donate.

As Elementary and Middle Schools remain closed during the pandemic in India, the children are given lessons in small groups at all EWM Children’s Homes

The school did not resume yet in India except for Colleges and Universities (even though it is not the case everywhere). At EWM Children’s Homes, Teachers and Staff are giving lessons to the children under EWM care, as the external students are not allowed to come in. The children come into the classrooms or main halls in the respect of Coronavirus guidance and wearing masks. Our focus is to help them in their studies, so they won’t lose their prior knowledge.

But for many children in rural villages, they have no other choice than to work to support their families who are struggling to survive. They are performing all kinds of jobs, most of them are dangerous for their health. It will be very difficult for them to get back to school. This terrible situation affects 200 million children in India. We value your prayers for the schools to reopen quickly.

The future appears ever more uncertain for the most vulnerable populations, especially the lepers. Their living conditions are worsened with Covid-19 pandemic as the number of cases has surpassed five million. More than 80 000 people has died so far. Schools, Colleges remain shut while workplaces, hotels and restaurants are reopening.

But, in this critical time, we did not forget our brothers and sisters! We helped thousands of families with cooked meals and groceries. All the beneficiaries are so grateful to receive the food assistance and they are touched to hear that friends from other side of the world are giving with a heart of compassion. Thank you for standing with us continually.
