Because of the BridgePoints Care Centers, the village children we serve are getting into private schools on full scholarships and now have a chance to go to college, where they can make ten times what their ancestors have made for thousands of years.
“Because of this program, I feel all my years of toil are worth it.” - Savitri (Mother of BridgePoint child.)
What We Do
Holistic Care: We operate five BridgePoint Centers, providing daily food, dedicated tutoring, and discipleship six days a week, serving 25-75 children at each location.
Empowering Families: Our Economic Empowerment Program moves families toward self-sufficiency through initiatives like providing livestock, vocational training, and gardening programs.
Essential Support: We address critical needs through a Widow and Orphan Program, a Medical Needs Program, and infrastructure projects like building wells and sewage systems.
Developing Leaders: We offer English classes and leadership training, creating a pathway for children who complete the program to join the ministry staff.

BRIDGEPOINT CENTERS
Our Impact
This ministry is dedicated to breaking the deep, generational cycles of poverty through our comprehensive, holistic BridgePoint Center model. Through each BridgePoint, we provide stability and a future for children and families in one of India's most economically disadvantaged regions. In an area plagued by malnutrition and early marriage, the BridgePoint ministry is a beacon of hope. Not only do we provide a meal, we provide a future. This proven model empowers children spiritually, economically, and educationally, ensuring they stay in school, grow in faith, and offer lasting support for generations.
