IGP is a humanitarian, educational non-profit. Our founder, president, executive director, board members, and all staff members are Christian. The partners we work with in India are also Christian. We believe and practice Loving God and loving others.
Similar to the Smith Family Foundation, we believe that all are created in the image of God and that orphans and widows, many of whom suffer from poverty-related diseases, are precious to our Lord. We boldly seek to love, protect and care for them, strengthening their family units and assisting them to become self-sustaining.
The grant funds would be used specifically to help us support our new ministry program called Tulee Mwanna ("Let's Raise a Child"). The grant money helps us support both our staff for this ministry and the operating budget as well. Here is a brief description of the ministry...
Vision: The vision of Let’s Raise a Child is to walk with vulnerable pregnant women in order to empower them and help them become sustainable.
Goal: The goal of this ministry is to ensure the health of both the child and family in order to prevent the abandonment of babies.
Strategy: Identify vulnerable pregnant women within the community, assess immediate needs, and create a personal empowerment plan, which includes maternal health care, education, economic opportunity, and community support.
