100 Steps to Home - Orphanage Project

100 Steps to Home provides a unique opportunity for donors to provide a loving home for abandoned and abused orphan girls, and a school for hundreds of poor children in Maradiyur, India. Take a virtual tour...

The orphan girls who will live at Maradiyur have been physically, morally, and sexually exploited and abused. Many have lived on the streets in terrible poverty. Some of their parents have died of AIDS. But now in the loving care of the Salesian sisters, they will have a safe, stable life.

Leading to the front of the main building will be 100 Steps to Home. Each stepping stone, representing your gift of $3,000, will be richly decorated by the girls themselves, with your name or the name of a loved one, a lasting tribute to your generosity. Stepping stones can also be dedicated as a memorial for a deceased parent, spouse, a child, anyone you want to remember in a very special way.

3 Children

Each day, the orphan girls and sisters will “pray” the stepping stones, and you will be remembered. Just think: a prayer each day for you or a loved one. Perhaps that prayer will be said just when you need it the most. Please become a “stepping stone” to a brighter future for these poor children in India.
