Five years ago, when I was last in India, the girl in this picture was dressed in rags and begging for money on the side of the road. I wonder what has become of her since she begged our group for a few coins.
Mukti is a Christian mission which was founded in 1889 in India and is taking action to bring hope, and a positive future, to girls and women in India. Mukti’s aim is to change lives through a range of initiatives that demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ in a practical way to the mainly Hindu and Muslim nation.
In India, many girls live on the streets, abandoned by families who consider them a burden. With the support of people from around the world, Mukti is helping give these girls new opportunities and hope for the future through child sponsorship. As well as food, shelter, clothing and medical care, Mukti provides education, love and spiritual guidance to help girls develop into positive, valuable members of their communities.
Lorraine and Anil Francis are senior leaders in Mukti and both have a passion to serve the lowest and least in society. They have worked with Mukti for over 21 years. They recently joined me in the studio at 98.5 Sonshine FM to talk about their work.
