welcome

In India, for over 3000 years the caste system has meant that, if you were born as one of the 250 million Dalits, also known as untouchables or outcasts, then your opportunities in life are extremely limited. That is limitations in education, health-care, employment, even where you can worship. Imagine then how difficult it would be to be an orphan amongst the Dalits, in a country where there is no Social Services and few orphanages that could care for you.

For the last 20 years, Life Association has been building schools and orphanages amongst the Dalit communities in India, but with your help we want to do much more.
