Our 3 Core Commitments
Intergenerational Equity:
We teach the foundations of equity and equality to rural Dalit children, youth, and women. We teach them to think critically and be morally grounded.
Right to Development:
We affirm Article 22 (122) of the Constitution of India: “All peoples shall have the right to their economic, social, cultural development with due regard to their freedom and identity and in the equal enjoyment of the common heritage of mankind.” We work to protect these human rights for Dalits.
Social Justice:
Bringing an end to discrimination and poverty will require both inner conviction and outside intervention. We help the Dalits understand their rights and offer legal assistance.
