OUR HISTORY
Good Samaritan Ministries India was founded in 2005 as a Christian charitable ministry dedicated to serving poor and needy families in the Narsapuram region.
In 2007, through the support and partnership of Thomas and Tamara Slavik, Mother Karen’s Children Home (MKCH) was established in memory of Tamara’s mother. The facility was created to provide care, accommodation, education, and support for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Over time, the ministry expanded its educational efforts through the establishment of Ruth Vocational Junior College (RVJC), named after Vijaya Ruth, with the goal of providing quality vocational education and career opportunities for local students.
As educational needs evolved, GSM adapted its facilities to support vocational education, student accommodation, and community development initiatives.
Today, the GSM campus serves as a center for education, youth development, student support, and ministry activities.
