“God has given me a burden to preach the word of God and to take care of orphan children” Franklin N.
Franklin Nandigam, with his wife Vijaya run an orphanage with over 60 children as part of their Compassion Focus Ministry (CFM) in Andhra Pradesh, India. Now things are exponentially harder because of Covid.
When the pandemic began they were in the process of purchasing land and building a larger orphanage and school a little distance from town. This will give them space for more children, room to plant gardens to grow more of their own food, and room for the children to play. Two dormitories, a kitchen and a chapel are already completed. The children are ready to move into the new facility right now.
In order to move into the new home there is an urgent need for $50,000. This money will provide
- A water filtration system for the well that has already been dug
Franklin and children with the well drilling crew.
- Bedding, basic equipment and furniture
- Two vehicles to transport the children and supplies
A total of $240,000 is needed for the entire project:
This would include everything listed above as well as
- Pay off of the land and existing buildings
- Build a school building
- Complete equipment for kitchen
Ongoing support opportunities:
$100 a month will provide the financial support needed for one child This provides food, clothing, education, and healthcare.
Whatever you are able to give, any amount, will be a big help. The Sanford Westcott Foundation will send 100% of your donation for India directly to help them in this crucial time. Please continue to pray for Franklin and Vijaya and all the lives they are touching.
