Involved in building Good Shepard schools throughout India with the help of Operation Mobilisation since 2004, Friends Church is now the single largest organization supporting the Dalit Freedom Network in their goal to end Dalit trafficking through the education of children.
"Education is the gift to their freedom," Cork said, "because without education, they're not able to get a good job, they're not able to go to college, they're not able to put themselves in a place of competition with the rest of India."
So far, Friends Church has contributed enough money to provide 20 percent of financial support for the Dalit Freedom Network's goal of building 1,000 schools.
Cork explained that, "just because we've been given the opportunity in America and have means, doesn't mean we can keep it all to ourselves."
Dalit Freedom Network has focused on building schools in order to end human trafficking because, although Dalit children have been exposed to caste discrimination, "it hasn't been ingrained in them," the way it has in their parents, Cork said.
And once children receive an education, "there's many things can take place," he said.
The easiest way for people to become involved in ending human trafficking in India, Cork said, is to sponsor a child through the Dalit Freedom Network.
"Once you bring freedom to one, you have an opportunity to change the world," Cork said.
