We have several stories of empowerment and improvements to quality of life coming from our India programs. One major development at our India orphanage campus has been a significant upgrade to the children's bathing, restroom, clothes washing and dishwashing areas. 

A set of 7 new restrooms for the girls dormitories has doubled our total restroom capacity. The bathrooms also serve as washrooms for bathing. Additionally, a hand-washing and dishwashing station with 10 spigots was completed, drastically improving the efficiency of pre- and post-mealtime routines for the children. Finally, an Indian-style clothes-washing slab was added in the washing area. These upgrades have enabled drastic advantages in our staff's ability to enforce proper hygiene habits for the children. 

At our Seamstress Business School we've commissioned another group of eager entrepreneurs already fast at work with their new skills and sewing machines. All told, 30 women, consisting of widows and destitute women of the slums, completed the 4-month training which gives them a strong working knowledge of the seamstress trade, including practical small business skills.

For the past several months we've been working on a new, permanent school building for our orphanage campus. The newly expanded building will offer a kitchen and dining hall on the ground floor, and a second floor with 7 classrooms and 2 offices. Previously, the classes were overcrowded and inadequately equipped with just 3 classrooms and one office for the teachers. 

The new construction will allow for our first permanent kitchen and dining hall on the campus, allowing for vastly increased ability to maintain sanitation and order for meal preparation and dining. We're excited about this project because it will take us a strong leap forward in our vision to raise the standard of care for these whom the scriptures proclaim are very dear to God's heart.
