Mercy Home Hostel

Since 1979, an Indian Christian husband and wife have loved and cared for the neediest of poor outcast children in Southern India. Located in a small town, this facility has several buildings in close proximity including dormitories for boys and girls and school facilities for primary classes, junior college and nursing assistant students. Some of the children have bunk beds with thin mattresses but there is currently no space for beds in the boy’s dorm. The 250 children, aged 5-19 years old, help with the chores and upkeep of the hostel including washing their own laundry by hand. Their meals of rice and dal are cooked on an open fire 3 times daily. They enjoy occasional fresh fruit. Each day they gather to sing, recite memory verses and study.
