Regional Profile

South Asia is the birthplace of Interserve and many major world faiths have deep roots here. Some of the oldest Christian communities worship in this region, alongside some of the youngest emerging Christian fellowships. It is home to areas of economic growth as well as to the world’s poorest societies.

Throughout our 200-year association with South Asia, Interserve teams have striven to embody God’s invitation to abundant life, through serving among those with little access to resources, particularly in the fields of medicine and education.
