My Nonprofit Reviews

I am Fr. Manoj Kumar Nayak, a Catholic Priest of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar Archdiocese, Odisha, India. I belong from Kandhamal district in Odisha where communal violence took place in 2007 and 2008 due to which more than 100 innocent people were killed, more than 6000 houses were looted and burnt into ashes and more than 395 Churches and Worshipping places were desecrated. In the post Kandhamal violence, Dalit Solidarity, USA through Community Care Trust, Tamilnadu encouraged and supported me to start a health clinic in the rural area where very poor dalits and tribal live. With the generous support of Dalit Solidarity I could start "All Saints Rural Health Clinic" and able to serve the poor communities with the health needs. I was supported to construct a building for the clinic, pharmacy and Lab facilities with testing machines, furniture, solar inverter facilities, bore well to cater the water facilities, refrigerator, water purifier, staff support to run the clinic, etc. Dalit Solidarity also has supported three villages (Tiangia and Kattingia in Kandhamal and Deogarh in Sambalpur diocese) with bore wells to solve water crises in the villages and hostel. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of Dalit Solidarity for the dalit empowerment meetings, workshops and travel expenses giving hope and assurance to these most marginalized communities to live a dignified life. I express my gratefulness to Dalit Solidarity and its Board for the great concern and cooperation for the rural poor and marginalized communities. Gratefully acknowledge kindness of Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan, Mr. Vincent Thiag and Leenus Mam.
