Numbering more than 250 million people, the Dalit people of India are locked in a religious cycle of modern-day slavery. The word dalit literally means "untouchable" and they are treated as such by their government and countrymen. The Dalit are among the world’s most oppressed people being denied access to medical care, education, or opportunity for well paying jobs. Operation Mobilization is addressing this horrific injustice by working to educate an entire generation of Dalit children through building and staffing Dalit Education Centers that also serve as churches for the rapidly growing Dalit Christian church. At Passion 2010 we will come together to raise $75,000 to fund the building of a Dalit Education Center that will bring hope, education, and opportunity for thousands of Dalit people. We are asking 2,500 students to carry the cause of the Dalit people by giving $30 to help fund the Dalit Education Center building project.
2,500 students x $30 = 1 Dalit Education Center in India
