ENVIRONMENTS

Environmental degradation spreads disease. Buildings, roads, and public transport remain almost completely inaccessible to South Asians with disabilities.

95% of South Asians, 1.75 billion people, are without the Gospel. 3,731 people groups remain unreached. Those with disability live without the hope of Christ and support of the local church.
