Improving the lives of families who have lost hope

Rural India is one of the poorest places on earth. Families, most of whom earn less than $2 a day, are barely able to survive, much less work their way out of the terrible poverty that holds them captive in a life of suffering.

Your support will ensure that India's poorest families have the opportunity to vastly improve their lives and create a better future for their children.

Your support of one family also helps the entire village as they share access to improvements such as clean water and community health care.

Building a future full of hope

You can personally help a poor family overcome hunger, sickness and terrible poverty all for a commitment of $30 CAD per month.  To help a needy family in India rebuild their life you're also helping the community where they live. Simply put, helping a family is helping a community.

Your giving is providing one family with:

• Basic housing that meets their need for shelter and safety
• Clean water for drinking, bathing and irrigation of small vegetable garden plots
• Training in health care, sanitation and personal hygiene with a focus on reducing the incidence of preventable diseases and sickness
• Education for children, enabling them to build a brighter future for themselves
• Vocational and skills training for youth and adults, giving them the ability to earn more income to support themselves and their families
• Agricultural training that will enable farmers to grow more crops
• Membership in a community-based self-help group that supports savings and modest loans among families in the village
• Improved roads
