Join Promise.

Supporting RKS Village:
In one of the most impoverished villages in southern India, families scrape by as day laborers, earning barely enough for food and shelter.
The exploitation of girls and child marriage are alarmingly prevalent. Boys often leave school by the age of 12, joining their fathers and grandfathers as shepherds in the fields.
But hope abounds in RKS through a thriving faith-based, top-notch school and a clinic serving the entire village, including HIV+ women, who are survivors of abuse and trafficking. DFN’s solar-powered farm provides fair wages and the ingredients for manna mix, a protein food supplement distributed throughout India.
Future plans include opening a shelter for at-risk girls and launching new skills training programs for women.
