Choppakatlapalem

Church Orphan Home

The Choppakatlapalem Church Orphan Home is located in Andhra Pradesh, an eastern province of India.

Life in India can appear very exotic and exciting for the average tourist and is certainly that way for the wealthiest of the country.  However, the other side of the spectrum is far different where overwhelming poverty creates an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor.  In addition, tumultuous relations with neighboring Pakistan and China, rising HIV rates, and deeply ingrained cultural discrimination make this beautiful nation a challenging place, especially for its most vulnerable population—the children.

In India’s rural areas, most children do not attend school beyond the third grade due to financial hardship and lack of hope for their future.  They succumb to the same life as their parents, one filled with desperation and minimal opportunity. For the orphaned children of India, life is even more desperate and hopeless. With the loss of their parents to diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, orphans are left to care for themselves, struggling to survive as they attempt to live life on their own.
 

The Choppakatlapalem Church Orphan Home rescues orphaned girls and welcomes them with open arms into a safe loving home where they are nurtured and cared for by dedicated Christian caregivers.  In addition to receiving an education from the nearby public school, regular Bible study and essential life skills training ensures that these once desperate children will have the opportunity to live a happy, healthy life right where God planted them.
