History

Word Made Flesh was started in 1991, as a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization that exists to serve the poorest of the poor around the world. In 1994, Word Made Flesh initiated its first children's home in Madras, South India for abandoned babies with a primary focus on pediatric AIDS care. In 1995, another home was established for severely mentally and physically disabled girls who have been abandoned, left on the streets to die.

Since then, Word Made Flesh has expanded into other countries in South Asia, South America, and Africa where we serve with international Christians to make Jesus, the living Word, flesh among the poorest of the poor. Our current projects include pediatric AIDS care, rehabilitation for abused and destitute women, care and education for the war-affected, residential care for children with mental and physical disabilities, advocacy for street children, housing and rehabilitation for children and youth of the streets, and protection and prevention for sexually exploited women and children.
