Hands up for an education

Print E-mail

The Dalits of India have been the oppressed majority for more than three thousand years of India's history. This oppression is rooted in the caste system - an integral part of Indian society. In 2001 a rally was held in Delhi by the Dalit people which (despite fierce opposition) was attended by an estimated 100,000 people. During this rally the Dalit leaders invited world leaders to empower them through education to break the bonds of oppression.

OM Relief and Development in partnership with OMCC is committed to making a genuine difference through building schools across India exclusively for Dalit use and by financially subsidising school fees, books and uniforms.

You too can make a difference by partnering with us as we bring freedom and lasting change.
