I have lived in India for over 12 years so have a great deal of vital experience an understanding of how things really work when trying to do any sort of social welfare activity.
I have seen a number of churches/ organisations working with us to successfully complete various projects for children and poor people in rural Andhra Pradesh.
India has the reputation of being corrupt and misusing funds, and deceiving organisations into giving money for works that do not exist or never happen. This is of course all true but with some insight and understanding of how things work in India these problems can easily be avoided or overcome.
