Hunger & Disease
Lenten campaign is Caritas India’s flagship drive against hunger and disease. During the 40-day Lenten period that begins with Ash Wednesday Christians especially give in to prayer, penance, fasting, abstinence and works of mercy in preparation for their most solemn feast, Easter or the Resurrection of Christ from death.
Responding to Caritas India’s invitation Vijayapuram Social Service Society joins the efforts in becoming catalysts, adopting the “Each one Help one” approach in reaching out to attain a sustainable life for the poor and sickly people. We contribute a considerable amount to Caritas India’s Campaign every year.
