Mukti was founded in 1889 in India, where it is known as Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission, after its founder Pandita Ramabai and the Marathi word ‘mukti’ which means freedom, liberation and salvation. Mukti is a Christian mission which is taking action to bring hope, and a positive future, to girls and women in India. Our aim is to change lives through a range of initiatives that demonstrate, in a practical way, the love of Jesus Christ to this mainly Hindu and Muslim nation. Primarily, we provide secure, Christian homes for destitute women and children. Here, they find love, care and acceptance regardless of their backgrounds. And for some, the first home they have ever had in their lives.
