However, the reality is that hunger has no season. While traveling in remote rural areas of India recently, I met low caste and outcast people (Dalits) who struggle year-round just to survive. I met the man in this photo who hasn’t been able adequately provide for the needs of his family. He is one of nearly one billion people in the world who live on less than one dollar a day. Now because of a small loan from a CWR-sponsored project, he was able to rent a small piece of property and grow peanuts. With this cash crop he will be able to buy food for his family and continue to farm the land.
Covenant World Relief responds to disasters and supports long-term community development projects among the most vulnerable all year long.
