India Children's Homes

Under the registered name Love India, Victory Children’s Homes is transforming the lives of young girls across India through compassion, education, and empowerment. Currently, two orphanages provide safe shelter and holistic care for approximately 70 girls, ages 4 to 17, many of whom were orphaned or abandoned and left vulnerable to exploitation.

Life for poor young girls in India remains perilous. In some regions, the tragic practice of dowry-related violence, including bride burning, still persists. Victory Children’s Homes views its work as a rescue mission, intervening with compassion and practical solutions.

These homes offer more than refuge, they offer hope. Each girl receives a loving environment, access to quality education, and the opportunity to dream beyond the limits of poverty and injustice

We also have several schools in the slum areas to educate children who otherwise would be illiterate. These slum schools provide the children with food, necessary medical attention and an education.

Life is very difficult for poor young girls in India and we consider our efforts as a rescue mission. Dowry deaths still occur in India where young women are burned to death because they can no longer bring dowry money to their mother-in-law.

Guided by Dr. Hazel Lurline Hill, Victory Children's Homes Director, sewing schools have been established across the nation. These schools have been set up so that young girls and women can learn a trade by which they have a means of producing income. This income is often used to pay for dowries and therefore prevents bride burning. These women are also learning to work with oil paints and to learn different hand crafted skills. This will help them produce oil paintings and various kinds of hand crafted works for sale.
