In India, over 250 million people (21% of the population) lives on less than $1.90 per day, while over 48 million (39%) of children under age five suffer from stunting—an indicator of chronic malnutrition. In addition, human trafficking remains a major concern throughout the country while natural and man-made disasters continue to affect India every year. CRS works with Caritas India and other local partners; international and regional NGOs; and the US Government, private foundations and other donors to respond to these needs.
CRS collaborates with 30 local partners to work with vulnerable and marginalized populations to strengthen agriculture livelihoods, improve health systems and service delivery, support communities to prepare and recover from disasters, and reduce trafficking and sexual and gender-based violence.
