Organisational Profile

The simultaneous existence of abject poverty and spectacular affluence challenge the meaningfulness and the very fabric of society. It calls for the concerted efforts of all persons of good will to dedicate themselves for the empowerment of the poor, marginalized, oppressed and the downtrodden. We are committed to enable the poor and the deprived persons to participate in the goods and services of the socio-economic world. As far as a Christian is concerned, this mission is a constitutive dimension of his/her realizing God’s Kingdom of justice and love on earth.
