About This Cause

The WE SHARE program was started in 1994 to help the Vijayapuram Diocese - the poorest Catholic Diocese in Kerala, India. It was the response of Kathy and Dave Rennie seeing the poor in India firsthand when living there. India law denies government benefits to poor Christians. India has no welfare or food shelves. The people are dependent on the Church when they become desperate. And if they become too desperate and cannot survive on the finances they have, it is a temptation for them to revert back to Hinduism where they can receive government benefits. Poor people cannot afford medical insurance so they have to pay for all medical problems plus any medication. Poor workers usually only get a few dollars a day. Many do coolie work which is day labor. However, many cannot work due to high unemployment, sickness or the monsoon season. The monsoon season (normally June through August) also destroys poorly built huts and homes and reduces food supplies. It is also costly for the poor children to attend school because they need to pay for books, uniforms and other fees.
