In Rajahmundry, India, the Bethlehem House of Bread Orphanage is a place of care, stability, and possibility for children.

Through the Weapons of Light Foundation, we support food, shelter, education, and creative programs that help empower the next generation break cycles of violence through compassion and care.

This is what it means to put the virtues of light into practice.

How do you think creativity and care can shape a child’s future?

✨ Artist Grant Recipient: Madeline Naber ✨

At just 14 years old, Madeline Naber embodies the courage and honesty at the heart of creative expression. A painter, musician, and writer, she uses art to create space for emotion, authenticity, and imagination. Her surreal visual work and poetry invite reflection, healing, and fearless self expression especially for young people learning to find their voice.

Madeline’s art reminds us that light is born from courage and compassion. So, we’re proud to share her voice and work with the world.

Swipe to experience Madeline’s artwork and poetry.

A big thank you to everyone who showed up for Giving Tuesday! 🙏

Because of you, the 46 children at Bethlehem House of Bread were able to receive clothes for the holiday. Every gift made a real difference, and we’re so grateful for your support.

We’re excited to keep building this community in 2026 with poetry readings, exhibitions, music, and more ways to connect.

Thank you,
The Weapons of Light Foundation
