Dalit Freedom Network
Invite reviews
I have worked for the Dalit Freedom Network for a few years as a volunteer. I was very frustrated with the fact that the organization had no ideas to share on how I could help the Dalit situation from my home in the US. Every event I had planned and I had to come up with my own ideas. Then I was asked to share these ideas with them and they then became their ideas. I received NO credit for my creative ideas and no recognition at the conference. Although my intentions for volunteering was not for recognition, I feel every volunteer needs some kind of recognition for their efforts. At the conference we learned only what some of the staff was responsible for. We did not get to hear what the other volunteers were doing to raise support. We all gave our ideas on paper. We were promised a copy, which we never received. I love what DFN represents but I hate the fact the staff seems too self involved and forget that they are there for the good of the Dalits. We spent a lot of money for the conference and NO ONE at DFN followed through with anything they promised to help us become more involved. I now work independently for the betterment of the Dalits.

It means a lot to me to be able to enrich the lives of some of the poorest of the poor. DFN provides hope for those who would have none. I love getting letters from the children I support and hearing how they are doing.

The Dalit Freedom Network is doing the work I would do if I could physically be in India today. I am so grateful for their programs and for my precious Dalit child! There are few programs and nonprofits more important or more influential on a global level than the Dalit Freedom Network.

Although I am yet to be actively involved in this organisation, being aware of the grave and inhuman treatment the Dalits are suffering in India, I am greatful to Almighty that there are organisations like these who are brave and empathatic enough to stand for them and help them, when 'modern' India is unashamedly brushing the issue under the carpet for as long as they can!

What a privilege to be a part of the freedom of a suppressed people group! For thousands of years, they have felt devalued and oppressed and finally an organization has stepped up to speak out for their value as human beings with a strategy to bring them into freedom. And with that... some day, the beautiful country of India will be a better place, a more whole place, as a result.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I first hear about the Dalit freedom network on the radio, and was deeply moved by the stories I heard of the horrific way in which the dalits are treated. Although the caste system was supposedly banned, dalits are still discriminated against, especially in the more rural regions of India. DFN's sponsorship progran is especially meaningful to me. Just looking through the pictures of the thousands of dailt children brought tears to my eyes; they are no different than the many other children in India, and yet they are so poorly treated. I would strongly reccomend the sponsorship program. With just 28 dollars per month, you will change a dailt child's life by supplying them with the educationg they need to fight against discrimination!

The sponsorship provided through DFN is wonderful. Although I have only been sponsoring my child for a year, he has already written me letters; in each letter, often more than once, he thanks me for sponsoring him; I feel I am helping to change his future

Outstanding Organization! Knowing I have a direct impact on a childs education and other various needs through DFN gives me great satisfaction. Both of the children I have sponsored have become very personal to me and my family and the follow up we receive from DFN letting us know how our sponsored child is doing is school is wonderful!

I heard about the Dalit Freedom Network through my church. This organization educated us on the need of sponsorships so that children (the very poor in India) may be educated. The Dalit Freedom Network provides safe schools where English is taught to the children, where they also incorporate the goodness of God. If we all helped educate children around the world, we can help remove poverty from this earth. I have been very pleased with the way the Dalit Freedom Network helps the children and their families. I will pray for their continued success.

This organization has completely educated me on the people and caste system of India. I know the money I contribute on a monthly basis provides safety for children. If they are educated their future is brighter for all of them.
