A.F.R.A Home - Chennai - India

Urgent help needed

MSM have a long standing relationship with AFRA, who provide a loving home to 48 children aged between 4 and 21 years. The home was started by Josephs mother in the 70's in a small two room dwelling and this was all that existed when we first visited them. Gods love is really evident here and the home has grown and developed in the subsequent years.

MSM have supported the home for many years alongside local support from the surrounding areas.

Now one of the local organisations has decided to end its financial support, leaving AFRA to be under threat of iminent closure, we are praying for additional support to protect the future of the children and this wonderfull home.
