Amma takes over Paripally Orphanage

The original orphanage was established in 1964. By 1989, the institution was sinking under the weight of heavy financial debts. That year, the institution’s headmaster contacted Amma for help.When MAM took over the orphanage in 1989, the buildings were dilapidated and the living conditions were extremely poor and unsanitary. There was no medical facility and many of the children’s health problems went untreated. Boys and girls had to take baths outside by the water tank since there were no adequate bathing facilities. There were no functioning latrines for either the boys or the girls. The food was lacking in essential vitamins and minerals and there was no milk for the children. MAM invested large sums of money in order to extend the dining hall and build school furniture, construct proper accommodation, repair broken toilets and build new ones, install plumbing and pumps, and repair and rewire the electrical system. The situation has drastically improved since then.
