For the past 105 days, I've been participating in a daily blog-posting campaign to raise funds that will go toward sponsorship of the 105 abandoned, orphaned special needs children and young adults who currently call Sarah's Covenant Homes (SCH), India home.
From the SCH official website:
"Not only in India, but throughout the world, there are people who feel that children with special needs lack worth, or that there is shame in being differently-abled... The vision for Sarah’s Covenant Homes is to provide our children with the next-best thing to a traditional family. Love, growth, laughter, nurture, and more love. Over 100 children have been referred to us by the government, having been abandoned or relinquished by their families. Most of them arrive in extremely weak condition, with undiagnosed illnesses, anemia, and medical/surgical needs unmet. We provide them with medical care, education, physiotherapy, good nutrition & supplements, and lots of love."
You can read the full vision statement here.
So, what does this mean? SCH is non-profit and operates solely on donations and volunteer work. This amazing rescue mission is the brainchild of Sarah Rebbavarapu, who received a dream telling her to rescue children in need over 5 years ago. Today, SCH continues to better the lives of 105 children and young adults with various abilities.
Many of the children are able to attend mainstream private English-speaking schools, where they have a chance at the best education possible in India. You see, children with special needs are not accepted in public Indian schools. But many are fully capable of attending mainstream school, and one of SCH's goals is to educate as many children they rescue as possible. Another unique attribute of SCH is that no child will ever 'age out' of care, left to their own devices or turned over to government institutions (fun fact: the eldest young adult at SCH is in his 30s :)).
In order to provide the nutritious food, clean drinking water, medical care, boarding, caregivers (called 'ayahs') and nurses, and so much more, SCH is putting into place a sponsorship program. Each and every child and young adult at SCH now has a sponsorship fund, to which you can donate a specified monthly amount. You can read more about this sponsorship campaign here. SCH also offers many other ways to donate to the cause without making a monthly donation, and you can learn more about those options on their site under the 'get involved' tab.
You can read a little about each child that was featured in the campaign, and who live at SCH, by visiting my blog at the link below and scrolling back through the posts. If you click on a child's photo, it will take you to their sponsorship page. If you click on their highlighted name within the body of the post, you can read more information about each child as it was given on each day by the staff of SCH overseeing the campaign.

Alternatively, you can visit this tab of their website. I urge you to explore and learn more about this wonderful home for abandoned special needs children, they are doing great things for children who might otherwise be left to rot and die in government orphanages, starving, neglected and lacking simple medical care. SCH has an amazing story; become a part of it by partnering with them to empower the future.
They say that it takes a village to raise a child; SCH is raising 105.Â
The child-a-day sponsorship campaign has ended, but it is never too late to donate. Please consider sponsoring a child, or if you can't afford to give a monthly donation, explore the other options SCH provides. If nothing else, please consider reblogging this and passing it on. Every little bit helps, no good deed is too small.Â
