Unfortunately, the story that you read about Himanshu and
Harish is common across the nation. There are broken families caused due to alcoholism,
abuse, and the irreconcilable differences between the parents, However, amid
all this chaos, it is the children who suffer the most and bear the brunt of
the ill consequences. There are thousands of children in Delhi alone, just like
Himanshu and Harish, who are homeless and are left to fend for themselves. They
lack support, care, love and affection and hence, are forced to take up scanty
jobs to feed themselves.
At times these children become victims to human trafficking
and are forced to prostitution and begging on the streets. This is when places
like Asha Grih of the Believers Church, established by Bishop K.P. Yohannan,
acts as a support system where the homeless and neglected children can be cared
for. Such homes offer hope for a bright future and the staff at Asha Grih thank
God to have brought Himanshu and Harish to their home so that they can become what
God intended them to be. Though this is the story of two children, out of many
children suffering and left alone on the streets, Asha Grih believes that God has
a plan for all and will steer their path to such homes where they can
experience a positive impact.
The Believers Church is currently running homes that cater
to the needs of over 60,000 underprivileged children. One is through its Bridge
of Hope Program initiative started by Bishop KP Yohannan of the Believers
Church, Kerala. The Bridge of Hope project provides care, shelter, food,
medical aid, and education to those who are otherwise unable to afford these.
