How Does IDRF Select NGOs Projects In India ?
The name IDRF reflects our interest in the interaction and convergence of development and relief work, particularly in relation to the needs and welfare of the poor. As such, IDRF has a broad focus and does not restrict its activities to any set of projects. The projects with which IDRF is involved at any particular time, will always reflect our pledge to: • Create self help, rather than “welfare dependence” • Serve economically and socially disadvantaged people irrespective of caste, sect, region or religion • Operate, manage and monitor project activities without any overhead costs Typically IDRF projects range from building schools for the needy children, orphanages and rehabilitation centers for disaster victims, to urban slums and tribal area development schemes. The project areas may be quite diverse, but all likely will address, social and economic issues. For a representative list of IDRF-supported projects, please see the last section.
