Roslyn St., Ste. 450, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 USA 303-221-1333 toll free 866-921-1333 The Dalit people of India are victims of centuries-long, socially-sanctioned bigotry. The Dalits, numbering 250-300 million, are those the Hindu caste system designates as "low" or "backward" caste. Because of their low social standing, affluent parts of society deny Dalits basic human rights. As a result of this discrimination, Dalits suffer socially, economically, and spiritually. Unable to access education, and because of the social stigma of "untouchability", society forces Dalits to take low-paying jobs providing an inadequate income. They cannot afford food, clothing and shelter. They cannot afford medical care. They cannot afford an education. Society denies Dalits human rights and shackles Dalits to a social and religious system that removes personal freedom. A central office in Denver, Colorado, acts as the hub to connect the people and finances to the areas of need in India. DFN, working in partnership with the All India Christian Council, responds to the requests of the Dalit community. Dalit leaders come together from all parts of India to strategically identify the greatest areas of need. They are primarily requesting high quality English-medium schools for their children.
