Local Christian charity does medical and missions overseas
Suppose you were seeking ways to make your missions more meaningful. You searched for a worthy mission project. Chances are you find Sanma; an Arlington, Texas based Christian organization that establishes locally sustainable foreign missions in India.
At Sanma, your God-given gifts, earned skills, and resources are matched in efforts that bring hope, and establish sustainable developments. The value and impact of your mission dollars significantly increase when they are used to build sustainability on the field.
For those who seek to serve on short term missions overseas, Sanma offers logistic support and local infrastructure. Volunteers who serve with Sanma on short term missions in India are also qualified to apply for a grant from USAID to help with the traveling expenses.
Sanma trains and support local Christians to teach child laborers how to read and write. We use Bible as a textbook. By providing tools and training to native missionaries and local believers, Sanma creates self sufficiency. For example, by providing a pair of goats a child laborer can be made free. A sewing machine and some training equip a missionary’s wife to generate extra income at home, and to connect with her community.
Sanma reaches the most rural villages of India through its Community Education Centers that are established in 43 villages. The organization also has a public school with 300 students, a clinic, a hospital.
