About India

At 22 million, India has the largest number of children who are orphaned anywhere in the world. One in every ten Indian children will be orphaned in their lifetime. There are 170 million children in India who are considered at-risk due to poverty, abuse, and malnutrition. An estimated 60,000 children are born with HIV each year. Child abuse and trafficking is widespread, and India has the highest number of child brides in the world. Only 32% of all children in India who begin their education will graduate from high school.

Orphan Outreach responds to the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in India in three ways. We provide safe, nurturing support for young adults as they leave traditional residential care and navigate the transition to independent living. We provide restoration and security to children whose lives have been ravaged by neglect, abuse, and exploitation. We provide hope and a meaningful life to children and families living with HIV.


Team Leader

Veronica Rock – I am an advocate for the orphaned, the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the disillusioned. I have served in North and South America, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, the UK, Africa, and Asia.


Accommodations

The team will stay in hotels close to the ministry sites. The land cost is based on double-occupancy rooms with bathrooms. If you would like to have your own room, there will be an additional cost. Please email missions@orphanoutreach.org if you have any questions.
