Helping Orphans, Widows, Elderly, Needy Children and Their Families With His Love
Right Hand Ministries majors on 2 main areas of ministry, helping the elderly and helping the children: helping with both the physical and spiritual needs. Part of our children's ministry is to help them with education. Government schools (or "public", as we often say in the west) are very cheap, but usually providing a lower quality of education. They also have a reputation of having a lower level of discipline and a higher level of negative influences. Private education in India is higher in cost, but oftentimes very cheap compared to private schools in more developed countries. For example, during the 2023-24 academic year, your donations provided 40 children (from kindergarten to college-age students) from $200-300 total expenses, another 6 children from $100-200 expenses, and another 4 students with less than $100. For most of the children, the amount we paid was all they needed. We still have some outstanding expenses, but have spent more than $12,000 for education during this academic year. As the 2024-25 year begins soon, we only have about 5 new children, but are expecting the total fees to be closer to $13-14,000 because of rising costs, and because a few students might be having more expenses than this previous year.
Please pray about helping us with school expenses for these 50-55 children in the upcoming school year. Especially we have more expenses during June and July, as many children will need books, materials & uniforms, and perhaps most of the schools will be requiring some initial fees. Bless you as you pray for us, and help us in this ministry of faith and love toward the children.
