Welcome to South Asia!
South Asia is a region of extreme diversity geographically, religiously and socioeconomically.
South Asia is a region of extreme diversity geographically, religiously and socioeconomically. Poverty in this region affects children, families and individuals through high infant mortality, malnutrition, child labor, lack of education, child marriage and HIV/AIDS, along with other significant health issues. Listed as an area within the 10/40 window where there are high concentrations of unreached people groups, the need for Christ-centered services is more important than ever!
This is why One More Child has partnered with an amazing local ministry who provides Christian education, homes for orphans and care for those suffering from the physical and social effects of leprosy. Sponsoring a child from this area provides them with the means to break the cycle of poverty and have hope for a brighter future. Lives are being changed in South Asia because of people like you!
The pandemic caused
48 – 59 million
people to become or remain poor in 2021 in South Asia (World Bank).
