Brought to GCM as little boys after their family fell apart, the brothers were raised with love and education — today they are settled, working men living with dignity.
Ashir Orphan Children's Home is GCM's flagship project and the anchor of our entire ministry. It provides comprehensive, long-term care to vulnerable children who have lost their parents or guardians — because every child deserves a safe home, a quality education, and the opportunity to flourish.
Beyond shelter, we provide nutrition, educational support, healthcare, and most importantly, a loving community where children can heal, grow, and develop into empowered adults ready to contribute to society.
Through personalized care and mentorship, we help each child discover their potential and build a foundation for a hopeful future — a commitment that continues long after they turn eighteen.
Based at Malyala Village, Bommalaramaram Mandal, Yadadri–Bhongir District, Telangana, serving the surrounding villages. Part of the work of Great Commission Ministries since 1994.
GCM cares for three categories of children, and the distinction matters for how we present sponsorship honestly to donors.
Children with no living parents and, in many cases, no known family background at all.
Children with one surviving parent — usually a mother working as a daily wage labourer — who cannot afford food, fees and uniforms for her children.
Where parents are alive but incapacitated by illness, addiction, incarceration, abandonment, or extreme poverty.

GCM's responsibility does not end at eighteen. Graduates remain under our care while pursuing degrees in the city. Alumni stay in contact, return to speak to current children, and in several cases now give back financially. This aftercare commitment is one of the things that sets Ashir Children's Home apart.
