Review for Dalit Solidarity, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I know Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan for 50 years who is a close friend and companion of mine, founder of Dalit Solidarity in San Diego, California. Dalit Solidarity, is a non-profit charity which was established in 2000 in the US to promote equality and justice for Dalits who have been tyrannized for centuries under caste oppression.
For the past two decades, Dalit Solidarity has reached out to marginalized communities in India, Sri Lanka, Malawi, Myanmar & Ukraine through various humanitarian programs such as education, health care and development.
Dalit Solidarity was invited to attend the 2023 Regular Session, Committee on NGOs at United Nations Headquarters, New York. Through various initiatives, Dalit Solidarity strives to provide healthcare and educational services to underprivileged families locally and globally who cannot afford them.

Having been brought up in a Roman Catholic poor Dalit community in a downtrodden village, Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan always felt a deep sense of responsibility towards serving and supporting the desperate poor people.

Throughout his spiritual career, Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan has contributed in providing healthcare and educational services to poor families who cannot afford them. Through Dalit Solidarity, Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan is supporting the marginalized community in India through economically, socially and psychological well-being of Srilankan people who were dislocated from their homeland.

In addition, Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan has conducted several health camps for the recovery of AIDS patients, as well as contributed to the development of various facilities such as repairing the football court, putting up a new basketball court, and renovating classrooms to facilitate the human and intellectual formation of seminarians - the future priests of the Church.

Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan can also be called ‘The Mother Teresa of the Millennium’. His service to the poor reflects the service of Mother Teresa and in short he is a heaven for the marginalized community. It is not an exaggerated quote but a naked truth that exposes the deep commitment of Rev. Fr. Benjamin Chinnappan to the Catholic faith and impeccable service to the poor.
