goal
India has spiritual darkness permeating its culture that devalues human life, in particular female life. A caste system that systematically keeps individuals oppressed from the time of birth, throughout their entire lives, sends the message to these women that they are unworthy and unloveable. Through local Indian missionaries supported by GFA women are taught the truth about their state before God. Through women's literacy classes women learn the truth of the gospel, that although we are unworthy of God He loves us and died for us anyway. The best way to help with the problems of sexual discrimination, gendercide, and inequality in India, is to attack the spiritual problem. Support women's literacy classes by donating to our campaign to help make the spiritual orphans of india into daughters of the almighty God. Or support a missionary directly here:

There are over 250 million women in South Asia who are illiterate. Because of this, GFA workers are training thousands of women every year to read.
Your donation will enable GFA to provide books, training materials, and classes for women in developing nations. This will empower them to care for their families, avoid bad contracts that cause debt, and overcome abusive employers who take advantage of their ignorance. They’ll also get better prices at the marketplace—just because they can do math. Finally, churches will be strengthened as women are able to read the Bible for the first time.
About GFA World
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: See communities in Asia and Africa discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we’ve found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.
GFA World is dedicated to the most effective and efficient stewardship of resources, according to 1 Corinthians 3:12-14. Contributions to GFA are income tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. All gift options represent GFA's actual ministry efforts to meet the diverse needs of individuals and communities. GFA World seeks to use contributions raised for a particular ministry in furtherance of that charitable objective, but retains control and discretion over all donated funds to further its overall charitable objectives.
