community development
Over half – a startling 60% – of Mumbai’s population lives in various slums. That is about 14 million people. In the slums, they face all kinds of problems, daily. We desire nothing less for their lives than total transformation. We envision an ever-growing array of services including: Day Care Centre(s) for children, Tailoring Centre(s) to empower women and especially widows, food and medical care for the poor, and various other programs as needed to bring new hope to the hopeless and change lives for the better. We look to bring training of all kinds, so as to empower the poor and needy to live better lives. We welcome your partnership.
Jogeshwari Slums
These slums consists of around five thousand immigrants from different states of India seeking shelter under the flyovers, road sides with no roof to their homes. They earn a mere salary of 2$ each day and run their lives. Silambarasan, a full time YWAM staff from Tamil Nadu, India has taken initiative steps for the welfare of these people and has decided to obey God's calling for them
Aadhivasipada Children ministry
These tribal people are inside the remote part of the city. We were able to witness their willingness towards gospel and they even opened up their homes for teaching English and gospel to their kids. Daniel and Praisy from Tamilnadu, India got a vision for these people and is serving the Lord among them. They have a child Angelina. Together as a family they moved to Mumbai and working with YWAM. They are full time YWAMers.
