First touch
A group of committed and interested people were greatly dismayed when they learned about the almost hopeless living situation and poverty of the people there at various information events about northeast India.
Current state children
Many children are not allowed to attend school because they instead have to help provide for their families due to poverty. They are often found as cheap labor in quarries or as herdsmen.
Current state of schools
A large number of schools are in a poor structural condition and often lack enough classrooms and even the simplest facilities such as blackboards and school desks/tables.
Infrastructure
The lack of regional infrastructure makes it even more difficult for people to cope with the daily challenges of living a dignified life.
Our activity
As a result, the aforementioned group of interested parties came together to take appropriate measures to respond to the desperate call for education and alleviation of the crushing poverty and to develop a way out of their misery with and for the people of northeast India.
The association “Khublei – Help for Northeast India e. V.” was founded in March 2020.
India experience
With decades of experience in project work in India, it is important to the founding members to support people living in northeast India regardless of origin, age, gender and religion Helping people help themselves sustainable and long-term support.
mission
In the World Mission Month October 2019, the church in Germany, together with missio, focused on the people in northeast India in information events and lectures, because they live in a particularly desolate situation and poverty. Compared to other regions of India, Northeast India seems to be completely forgotten by the rest of the world.
What does the word “Khublei” [ku:blæ i:] mean in the club name?
Khasi is the language of the indigenous people of Meghalaya, one of the states in northeast India. The word “Khublei” comes from the language of these indigenous people and means: “Good day”, “Be safe”, “God be with you”, “God protect you”, “Thank you very much”, “Goodbye”.
The greeting “Khublei” opens the hearts of people in Meghalaya.
We, who are committed to these people, would like to work with you to open our hearts to the forgotten people in Northeast India!
“Khublei” – “Be safe”
This greeting opens the hearts of people in Meghalaya.
