The Orphan Children

Initially Dr. Jyothi started with 4 children, registering them with the authorities and taking care of them in her own home all funded by her salary. As time went Dr. Jyothi was made aware (by patients and friends) that more children required help.

Each child that is a part of Joy Home family comes from a tragic past. This is just a snapshot of some of the children, past and present. All names and ages of the children have been withheld.

Child A – Both parents died of Aids and the child was left with an uncle. The uncle did not look after him properly by going to work whilst leaving the child alone, outside with out food. This continued until one of the neighbours realised what was happening and contacted Dr. Jyothi. The uncle has now also died from Aids.

Child B & C – Mother committed suicide, no idea where father is. The fathers brother admitted both brother and sister to our orphanage.

Child D & E – They are brother and sister and the whereabouts of their parents is not known. The boy was working in a shop full time. The shop keeper informed Dr. Jyothi that he was an orphan and as a result he was brought to the orphanage. When the child joined the orphanage he constantly cried for his sister. Dr. Jyothi managed to track down his sister at another orphanage and reunited them at Joy Home so both children could be together.

Child F – Father died, mother has mental issues and therefore the child was bought in to the orphanage.

Child G & H – The father died by falling into a well when children were only 1 and 2 years of age. Mother went into prostitution. The two young girls were brought to Joy Home by neighbours.
