About The Bethany Girls Home
Bethany Girls Home was founded by Prem & Kumari Premanandam, who soon after their conversion in 2005, sold their home in order to buy land, build a facility and dedicate their lives to caring for these girls. The sad reality is that keeping up with the sheer number of abandoned girls is increasingly difficult.
Operated by faithful Christians, Bethany provides safety and the necessities of life including education. These girls study the Bible daily, often becoming part of the next generation of Christians in India.

How you can help
Bethany currently serves 52 abandoned girls from ages 6 – 16, who were homeless and vulnerable. Operated by faithful Christians, Bethany provides safety and the necessities of life including education. These girls study the Bible daily, often becoming part of the next generation of Christians in India. A gift of $50 per month provides the necessary services for one girl. You may “sponsor” a girl and receive a picture and biography of a specific girl you support. Unspecified gifts go into the General Fund for other expenses.
Plans for the Future
Bethany Girls Home is currently (2017) being expanded to accommodate up to 110 abandoned girls. A 3700 sq. ft. second floor is being added to provide a residence for the founders, Prem and Kumari Premanandam, PLUS dormitory space for about 50 new abandoned girls when the facility expansion is completed in 2018. So, additional sponsors are needed for the added girls. It just takes $50 per month per child. A family or class project?
Who We Serve
Karnataka School of Preaching & Missions
KSPM was established in 2000 in Bangalore. Through 2010, KSPM-1 trained more than 50 preachers. KSPM-2 now trains missionaries rather than local preachers. Preparing men and their families to move to unfamiliar, often hostile areas is the challenge for the future.

Children’s Home
BMCH has served orphaned children since 2005. There is a waiting list of orphans needing a home. A new building was recently completed to house more children and also serves as the meeting place for the local church.
Bethany Girls Home
Many girls are abandoned by their families in India. And it’s culturally accepted due to the liability of raising a girl. Fifty-two of these abandoned girls receive the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual attention they need…
TPG Christian School
TPG Christian School was started in 1989 by Jacob Chukka to provide quality Christian education for poor students who might not otherwise be able to get an education. Each student studies the Bible every day introducing them to the way of the Lord.
Water Wells
Providing safe drinking water offers a demonstration of the love of God and the love of the local church in the community. These borewells are often referred to as “Jesus wells.” Jesus becomes known and God is honored.
