Elim Christian Children Home

It is a child care and education centre that strives to impart learning to all sections of the community. Elim Christian Children Home (ECCH) was established in 1994. It is registered under the Manipur society registration Act and Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi. This organisation is administered by an executive committee of 15 members elected by the council which consist

of 53 (fifty three) members representing many villages in the area. It is a non-political, non-profit making and non-sectarian organization committed to, caring and development of children and the poor people in the community. It started with a home for poor children, mostly orphans and needy children. ECCH, apart from the Education and Child Care Programmes, actively work towards community development through various activities, like agricultural training and community health care and women’s empowerment, hoping that this might create ways to generate income for parents to finance the education of their children and also develop the economy of the region. ECCH ministry is mainly concentrated among the Liangmai people of Manipur. The literacy among the Liangmais is very poor; the region is economically backward and is one of the most underdeveloped regions in the State of Manipur, and in the Country. Therefore, the ministry of ECCH, esp. its education programmes, child care and community development programmes is pivotal to the community. Any help or support from donors to the education and development of the region under ECCH coverage is valuable.
