Apostolate Work of the Home

“Our individual and collective efforts towards alleviating the fate of the least of our brethren are always highly appreciated.”
Editorial News, Vol. 1, No. 2, March 1997

At Anawim Home, our apostolate is dedicated to restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity to some of society’s most vulnerable people through compassionate care, protection, rehabilitation, education, skills training, and reintegration.

Since its inception, Anawim has remained committed to responding to human suffering with practical love rooted in the Gospel. Inspired by Christ’s call to care for “the least of these,” the Home welcomes people who have been abandoned, rejected, abused, or marginalized and accompanies them on their journey towards healing and self-reliance.

Who We Serve

Through our various programmes and outreach initiatives, Anawim Home provides care and support for:

Abandoned and Orphaned Children

Children receiving care at Anawim Home — Every child deserves love, protection, and a future filled with hope.

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. At Anawim Home, orphaned and abandoned children receive shelter, nutritious meals, healthcare, education, emotional support, and spiritual formation.

We also intervene in emergency situations involving children abandoned through poverty, illness, or family crises. Many children rescued from extremely difficult circumstances have gone on to flourish through rehabilitation and family reintegration.

Where appropriate, foster care arrangements are facilitated while mothers receive medical treatment and counselling, ensuring both mother and child are given the opportunity for a brighter future.

Young Mothers Facing Crisis Pregnancy

Young women experiencing crisis pregnancies often face rejection, fear, homelessness, and social stigma. Anawim Home provides a safe and supportive environment where they can carry their pregnancies to term with dignity.

Residents receive accommodation, counselling, healthcare, parenting education, emotional support, and vocational training throughout their stay.

Following childbirth, many are successfully reunited with their families, while others continue independent living equipped with practical skills that enable them to become economically self-reliant.

Women in Vulnerable Circumstances

Many women arrive at Anawim after experiencing abuse, exploitation, poverty, abandonment, or human trafficking. Our goal is not only rescue but complete restoration.

Through counselling, spiritual accompaniment, education, and vocational empowerment, women are helped to rebuild their confidence and independence.

Vocational programmes include:

Soap and cream production
Candle making
Tie and dye
Knitting and weaving
Catering
Fashion designing
Hairdressing
Polythene bag production
Bead making

These skills create pathways to sustainable employment, entrepreneurship, and long-term independence.

People Living with Mental Illness

Mental illness affects individuals regardless of age, background, or social status. Sadly, many people living with mental health conditions experience neglect, stigma, and homelessness.

At Anawim Home, every resident is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. We provide shelter, healthcare referrals, emotional support, rehabilitation, and opportunities for recovery within a caring community.

Our mission is to restore hope while advocating for greater understanding and acceptance of mental health challenges within society.
