ICII Promised Land Children's Home

Some 2017 pictures at the Promised Land Children's Home! ❤️

The children are doing well and excelling at school thanks to faithful ICII sponsors who make this Home possible! All of these children come from leprosy colonies-
Children who live at leprosy colonies in India dwell among the poorest of the poor on the face of the earth. Although they live among those with leprosy, and are at higher risk, most never contract the disease. Even so, they are considered outcasts, facing a lifetime of total rejection as an "untouchable". They have no hope of ever having an education, a good job, or a bright future. Sometimes such children are kidnapped to be sold as slaves. Many girls are forced into prostitution at a young age, and boys become thieves or drug dealers to try to escape the poverty-filled life.

Independent Church in India's Promised Land Children's Home was established with the vision to provide a loving home to children whose parents or guardians are victims of leprosy and cannot care for them.

By the grace of God, these young lives have been totally changed. Once they were hopeless and empty inside, suffering physically with hunger and poverty as well as emotionally with shame and rejection because of a disease they don't even have. But now, living at the Promised Land, the children have their needs met, and receive the love they deserve. Their eyes are bright with hope and their hearts are joyful!

The children are supported through monthly financial commitments by caring sponsors around the world. Those who are sponsoring our children know how much the Lord has changed the children's lives and given them joy at the Promised Land!

Meet Kavi Priya, She was rescued from s*x slavery...
Kavi Priya (Kavi) is such bright and energetic little flower! She turns 9 years old this year. Before coming to live at the Promised Land Home, Kavi had a very rough, heart breaking life. At age 4, her father was murdered by poison, leaving her mother a widow. In their culture, widows are considered cursed by the gods and are often unable to find work. Her mother could not provide for Kavi or herself, and they regularly went days without food. When a brothel owner offered shelter and food in exchange for Kavi’s mother to work for him pr******te, her mother felt she had no choice but to accept. During this time, beyond her mother’s control, little 4 year old Kavi was often s*xually abused. This went on for four years. When our team found out about this situation we did everything we could to get them out of there. Thanks to faithful sponsors Kavi and her mother now both live at the Promised Land and their lives have been completely renewed!
