We believe it's worth it. India is among the world's top economies. However, not every Indian benefits equally from it.
As is the case throughout the world, in India, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.
The Indian government should do more for people who are still deprived of the most basic necessities, such as clean drinking water, good healthcare, adapted education, opportunities to find a suitable job and provide for their families.
Nevertheless, Ananda vzw continues to work for the poorest of the poor.
History repeatedly teaches us that the fate of the poor only improves from the moment when they themselves can take their fate into their own hands. Everyone who receives the chance for education and responsibility through the Ananda project is invited to also help their fellow human beings who are less fortunate.
As a group, we believe it's essential to stay regularly informed about the progress of the supported projects. Our trusted contacts in India have so far been an indispensable link in monitoring these projects. Their advice and evaluations are critical to us.
Furthermore, we want to visit India ourselves every four years to identify the needs and requirements of the poor Indian population on the ground.
We hope that our testimony will also be an encouragement for people here to continue working towards our common goal: supporting each other for a dignified existence.
