This year’s Trócaire Lenten campaign which focuses on an isolated community in rural India. The community in Odisha, in the east of India, lives in real poverty. 47% of people in Odisha live below the rural state poverty line of 28 cents per day. Odisha has the second highest rate of infant mortality among states in India: 77 per live 1,000 births compared to the national average infant mortality rate of 57 per 1000 births. The drop out ratio from primary school stands at 60%. The most recent census in 2011 shows literacy rates in Odisha as a whole to be 74%. The female literacy rate in Odisha is 61%, compared to 80% for males 57% of Odisha’s population suffer from chronic energy deficiency due to poor nutrition. But with Trócaire’s help, and working through their partners, the community is being built up and empowered to work together towards a brighter future. Because of this help they can live lives of dignity and potential. Trócaire invites you to be in solidarity with this community this Lent; praying for them and supporting them in whatever way you can.
