A Ray of Hope
We launched the student sponsorship program in 2002. The goal is to encourage poor Dalit children to continue their schooling despite poverty of their family background. Our sponsorship program matches benefactors across the world with needy students, so children can pursue their education without interruption due to lack of funds. We have helped more than 9600+ children in these 22 years.
Need of Sponsorship
For centuries, Dalits were deprived of their rights to education and to a dignified life under caste oppression. According to UNICEF, 12% of 280 million children between age 5 and 14 are child laborers who work in the most inhuman conditions just to survive. This is a prime example of how many children today are still deprived of their childhood, education, health care, and fundamental rights.
One Child at a Time
Child Sponsorship is a time-tested method of saving children. Most of our students are children of day laborers. The annual income for a family of five in our villages is about $150. Today, Dalit Solidarity provides more than 750 students a year with quality education through its academic programs.
Why Sponsor a Dalit Child?
Sponsoring a child is just the beginning of an amazing adventure. By sponsoring a Dalit child, you are effectively giving him or her a life-changing opportunity – a future with real prospects away from poverty and oppression. With your help, your child will have the opportunity for a healthier, fuller life. We’ll send you updates so you can see how your sponsored child is progressing.
