SHALOM FAMILY HOME

In 2003 a pastor who had been a well established church minister for 17 years, felt God’s prompting for his church to start an orphanage.  Since taking the decision to go ahead and buy land in a rural setting, the church has grown and witnessed many miracles in connection with the new project.

The pastor contacted Orfund early in 2004, and we very quickly established a strong partnership.

Shalom Family Home is located in the Dindugal district of Tamil Nadu a little way out from the town of Palani.  It currently has three buildings of good construction and cares for over 25 children where either both parents have passed away, or the remaining parent is for some reason physically or mentally unable to cope.

During our time of partnership Orfund have not only sponsored all the children but also funded considerable development, building on the strong foundation of determination to help the young and to grow the project.
