Our Mission

DestituteOrphans.org is a U.S based nonprofit set up to fund the vital work of the Institute of Goodwill Foundation (IGF) locally owned and operated by tribal Christians on tribal land in Viewland Ukhrul, Manipur, INDIA. This only happens by God's tremendous love expressed through the generousity of people like you.

"The Least of These..."

IGF's Executive Council has ownership of three local efforts:

  • Jesus Goodwill Christian School (JGCS)
  • Reformed Edu-Care Center (REC)'s orphan care
  • A thriving Senior’s ministry
In a place where the average daily salary is only a few dollars, your support is greatly appreciated.

A New Building

Making our own building material out of hand sawn timber is no longer possible. IGF's vision is for a new brick school building to feed, house, clothe and provide a Christian education to many hundreds more children, including orphaned and destitute children. We invite you to see our need, with the eyes of your heart wide-open.

IGF has a generator, but it needs repair. Electrical power is intermittant at best. Power may be on for a few hours+ each day but then cuts off unexpectedly & with no warning. IGF's generator is currently inoperable & in need of repair.

Cool-looking school sweaters help keep students warm in UNHEATED school buildings. That's me in the middle of all those Kindergarteners, James Chizek, Founder of DestituteOrphans.org, with my bride Judy wearing light blue. Can you pick out our three children?

No education means limited opportunity for young people to employ their talents. Many poor families in the hill country of Northeast India, having little education, earn their living by laboring in rice patties owned by others in order to receive a small portion of the harvest. When the harvest is poor, prospects for survival become bleak. Education is key to developing God-given gifts which break the cycle of poverty.

JGCS teachers have a cubicle (not a desk) in a common office with no heat. The light coming through the cracks in the rough hand-hewn boards indicate to you how drafty, damp & cold the school can be, especially during rainy wet monsoon seasons.
