Hope, Dignity, & a Future


The girls of the Mercy Home ready for school and dressed in their uniforms, 
which are made possible through monthly sponsorships. All 33 girls at the 
Mercy Home attend school on a regular basis. 
     When most people think of the months leading up to going back to school, pencils, notebooks, and new clothes come to mind. Sadly, this isn’t the case for many in India. The thought of school brings heartache because most of them are too poor to afford the uniform and books that are required to attend. Fortunately, Mid India Child is helping to provide the children and teens of central India a future through education.

Students at Nav Jagriti, Mid India’s first school, work hard
 to complete their studies. As of today, 2,466 students are enrolled and 
working toward dreams of making a difference in the community.
When Mid India established the ministry, we had 17 students. As of today, with educational facilities through the Mercy Home, Oasis of Love, Nav Jagriti, and the Dr. Vijal Lall Memorial College, Mid India has provided almost 9,000 students of all ages with an education. 

Jeet, a student at the Oasis of Love, receives help from a teacher. 
As a special needs student, Jeet has limited opportunities to go to school. 
Thanks to Oasis of Love, 24 physically and mentally disabled children have graduated
 from Oasis of Love with a specialized skill.
      The heartache of being unable to attend school is replaced with hope for the future. For the first time children are able to think about what they’d like to be when they grow up, knowing that this goal could be a reality.  As dreams become reality, students are able to help support their family and give back to the community. Many want to be doctors, nurses, pilots, or teachers.
