civic and social awareness.

its horizons to other parts of Maharashtra especially in the earthquake
prone area of Latur. Children are literate today and are guided
through moral and value based education. Counselling activities
are on the increase. Many children are able to complete their education
with the financial support extended through this Mission.

for the slum dwellers. Free medical advice is imparted besides free

the need of the day. Educating them on health and hygiene is a primary
task bearing in mind the importance of Family planning, Prevention
of Aids, Mother & Child health care etc.

destitute and orphans from streets are being picked up and put in
shelter homes where they are taken care of.Medical treatment is
extended to many patients regularly. Not having any other source
of financial support, this mission is the only hope for the sick,
suffering and starving. This task is a gigantic effort on the part
of Eternal Hope, which needs extensive perseverance and humility.
Aged Caring
The
need for supporting the old and aged has been the need of the society.
Old people deserted by family members are supported financially
in cash and kind. Unable to work, they look to this Mission as their
only support.

Ringli who was very much known among the youngsters and was having
love and concern for poor children but he was not able to accomplish
his desire as he passed away at very young age in an accident. To
fulfill his unfulfilled desire his Parents and a group of youngsters
organised a Musical program to raise funds for the Construction
of Mats Memorial Children's Home in India, a project of EHCM.
