The Bethsaida children’s home began in Pithapurum in 1995 being transferred from the village of Gollaprolu where it started to help poor and orphaned children in 1972. The home is still providing care and shelter for children and many hundreds of children have been cared for by the home over the years. At present we have 53 children at the home, most come from a background of poverty, destitution, and abuse. The home provides food, medical help and education and clothing and somewhere to sleep. As the children grow older they leave the home and venture into the world having been cared for in a loving and Christian atmosphere but educated to help themselves with the knowledge of a Christian background and educated to provide their own support in the future.
In the village where Gollaprolu church of Christ meets every Sunday, most people are daily agriculture labours. In these families each one has to work to earn their own meal. Agricultural field work is season based so they have work only in certain times of the year, so when they have handful of work they have to secure enough for the rest of the year. During no work season some families migrate to and fro to nearby towns and cities for their livelihood.
In all these process the effected people are the elderly men and women of the family. They cannot work because of their age; even though they want to work, nobody will hire them because they cannot turnout as others do. When families migrate they do not prefer to take elderly with them, instead they will leave them in village to watch on their houses. These elderly people struggle a lot to survive and to get a one handful of meal a day.If you would like more information about helping the elderly please email tonytyson66@yahoo.co.uk or joelmadiki@gmail.com
