Dalits are often subject to persecution and segregation under India's caste system. Dalit Solidarity is an organization that works to provide education, economic opportunities and healthcare for these members of India's population. We talk with Father Benjamin Chinnappan, the founder of the organization.

Hi well-keep up the good work. Thanks Moses

As a one-time volunteer with Dalit Solidarity, I would like to encourage anyone interested to look into the organization's structure and staff. I was immensely disappointed by the leadership, or lack there of, which in my experience damaged the children involved with this organization. I encourage anyone interested in Dalit rights to look towards more responsible organizations for their involvement. For responsible aid, Ashley
