Spread across South Asia is a forgotten people too numerous to count. They’re despised by their countrymen and viewed as subhuman. Even the shadows they cast are believed to be contaminated by their filth. They are the Dalits, the "Untouchables" of South Asia.
Their life is valued at less than the animals whose dung they clean from the streets. Banned from the rest of society, they find employment removing trash, discarding animal carcasses and cleaning out latrines and sewers.
When you purchase items from the Christmas catalog, you’re choosing to send more than a chicken, a cow or a sewing machine. You’re sending hope that can forever change a life.
Cows supply milk that can be sold. A sewing machine for a widow creates a career, and chickens supply an income. Best of all, Christ's love shines through. These gifts will change lives.
