Jesus Unltd began supporting this family children’s home in February 2014 after its leaders lost their financial support and turned to us for help.
The conditions were heartbreaking. There were no beds or even mattresses. Each night, the children spread sheets on the concrete floor and slept there. Local Christians shared whatever they could—usually a little rice and a few vegetables—to help keep the children from going hungry.

Before leaving for school, the children ate a simple meal of rice with a few spoonfuls of vegetable stew. The pastor’s wife carefully added more water to the stew so there would be enough for everyone. In the evening, they ate the same modest meal again. Many days, there was nothing to eat at lunchtime.
The home also struggled to meet basic needs. The water pump that filled the rooftop tanks had burned out, and there was no money to repair it. The washing machine had also stopped working. Whenever the neighbors’ water tanks overflowed, the children filled buckets and carried the water home by hand.
Then came the COVID-19 pandemic. The director of the children’s home became critically ill and spent several days in a coma. To ensure their safety, the children were placed in other homes while he fought for his life. By God’s grace, he survived, but his health was permanently weakened.
In 2026, Pastor Sandeep went home to be with the Lord. His passing was a great loss to his family, our ministry, and everyone who knew him. We thank God for his faithful life and for the love and care he showed to so many vulnerable children.
Although the children’s home is no longer operating, our commitment to this family continues. One child remains especially close to our hearts—Jony, a boy with disabilities who grew up in this home. We continue to provide for his medical care, rehabilitation, and daily needs. Your faithful support reminds Jony and his family that they are loved, remembered, and never alone.
