Prime objects are uplifting the poorest in Chennai by medical, dental, orphanage, hostel, handicraft centre, education, wheelchair distribution, self help training in a leprosy settlement, providing rations on regular basis where needed. Social work among street children. The spread of the Christian gospel and the nurturing of the Christian faith are all integral to all these activities.

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:
