SOUTH ASIA
From snowcapped mountains to rain forests, beaches and wildlife reserves, South Asia is full of geographical variety. The people of South Asia enjoy and share rich cultural traditions that vary by region and even village.
However, the heartbreaking reality is that many people in this area still live without clean water. Inadequate sanitation and unsafe water can spread diseases, which often impact children the most. Poverty affects millions, especially widows and children. Many who rely on farming to make a living face circumstances beyond their control, such as adverse weather, drought, or sickness.
We work with national partners to find those in the greatest need, from remote mountain communities, to widows facing discrimination and abandoned children. The opportunities to show and share God's love are endless. We invite you to pray and partner with us in South Asia.

Many still live without clean water
Unsafe water and poor sanitation spread disease, and children are often hit hardest. Poverty affects millions, especially widows and children.
Many families rely on farming and face circumstances beyond their control, like drought, harsh weather or sickness. Widows are often ridiculed and abandoned by relatives, left with no way to care for themselves and their children.
The opportunities are endless
We work with national partners to find those in the greatest need, from remote mountain communities to widows facing discrimination and children with nowhere else to turn. We invite you to pray and partner with us in S. Asia.

Facts About the Koya People Group:
The Koya are part of a complex tribal system of leaders, customs and social norms. Ancestral divisions, family rituals and arranged marriage are all a normal part of Koya life.
Major food sources for the Koya include rice, fava beans, maize, and sometimes fish and meat. They add tamarind and hot chilis for spice. Fruits including jackfruit, coconut, mango, and berries grow well in the region.
Many work in agriculture as farmers, seasonal laborers, livestock breeders, or bamboo craftsmen.
