As Christians, we are called to fulfill the mandate of helping the poor, following the example set by Jesus Christ. He dedicated His life to assisting the marginalized, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and comforting the downtrodden.

Recognizing that we are stewards of God's blessings and resources, it becomes our duty to use these provisions to assist others, especially those less fortunate. This act of kindness is a way of expressing gratitude for what we have received, ultimately enhancing our spiritual well-being.

In accordance with Christian teachings, aiding the poor is rooted in love, compassion, and the obligation of believers to care for and uplift those in need, embodying the teachings and character of Jesus Christ.

The goal of Sahodharan is to reach out to the poor and the needy, assisting them in overcoming their current challenges. Let us come together to make a difference and extend a helping hand to those who need it most.
