Where We Work: India

• India: Serving India’s
low caste children

The Samsi School in West Bengal serves some of the poorest communities in India including the Harijans, the country’s lowest caste. While the Indian government is constitutionally required to help Harijan children, once they become Christians the help is withheld.

Children in the program receive tuition, uniforms, books, supplies and special help for their families. The program is staffed with Christian teachers who work with our local partner.
