Neglected and poverty-stricken
children find a home, education, and a future at Mukti. Loving families
are what God intended for the nurturing of children. Hundreds of children
in multiple families (each composed of 12 to 20 girls) named after flowers
in India are blooming in Mukti's "garden." The child in this picture along with
a twin were abandoned when they were babies. Both were rescued by Mukti and
are now healthy adults attending university.
SCHOOLS
India's illiteracy rate is one
of the highest in the world. Mukti's schools address this serious problem.
Over 1,000 students strain the seams of Mukti's primary and high schools.
Nearly three-fourths of the students come from the surrounding villages.
Opening its arms to the blind, Mukti also provides a school for the blind.
Recently an English-medium school has been started as
well.
MEDICAL SERVICES
A large hospital, Krishnabai
Memorial Hospital, and medical staff treat thousands of needy people.
Teams of medical personnel travel to villages to treat many who are sick,
but have no hope of medical help.
HOMES FOR THE UNWANTED
Mukti provides a home for
widows, outcast, unwed mothers and special needs children. There is
extensive vocational training for all the residents, including vocational
training for the blind.
MUKTI CHURCH
The Mukti Church celebrated its
100th anniversary in 1999. It is one of the largest churches in India with
seating for 2000 people.
