​CHRISTIAN AID

​CHRISTIAN AID Poverty, inequality, violence and injustice often denies women the opportunity to use the gifts that God has given them to support their families. Ranjita, who lives in India, was forced into manual scavenging work (bodily waste) for very little mon-ey and reserved for the lowest caste. Despite being outlawed by the government, there are still 1.2 million manual scavengers, 95% of them women. Ranjita was determined to build a better life for her children, so she joined a self help group run by Christian Aid Partner ARUN. She learned about her rights and applied for a government compensation grant. The grant helped her to start a tailoring business. Now Ranjita can provide for her family. She says “My children and I are happy, now that I am earning with dignity. By supporting Christian Aid financially and prayerfully, you can create life changing opportunities for mothers.
