It
is estimated that there are over 100,000 orphans or displaced
children on the streets of this city – without any help these
children face a life of begging, prostitution, and are likely to
succumb at an early age to illness and disease.
John
and Asha Chacko began working with these children six years
ago - providing them with food and a basic education. The first
children who joined them were a young girl called Bastine and
her two brothers who were having a horrific time. John and
Asha felt that
God was directing them to provide a more permanent home for many
more children and the vision for the Daya Vihar orphanage (means
House of Compassion and Kindness) was born.
