FIDESIndia (Fransalian Initiatives for Developmental & Educational Services in India) is an expression of the commitment of a few people who have come together for the development of the human person and of the society, particularly of the poor and needy in the rural villages and urban slums of Karnataka and Kerala. Its existence of the past few years was an enterprise of learning. We have been working in the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and have supported hundreds of children and families from poor communities in addressing the causes of their poverty and inequality.
