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.
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.
