Develop our villages is a sec-8 NGO, started primarily by two directors.

As an NGO (non-government organization), we do not receive any direct government funding providing us with the opportunity to remain independent and make unbiased evaluations of government policies and programs. The government, however, has also extended certain tax and duty exemptions to us, enabling us to minimize costs. Develop Our Villages funds are deployed in India to benefit underprivileged Indian children and a small proportion is also invested in local causes.

Develop Our Villages raises the valuable resources we need for our work through donations received from individuals, corporations, and institutions.

It most certainly will. A small amount goes a long way. In fact, individuals’ contributions form almost 90 to 95% of our income. Taken together, it is these seemingly small contributions that collectively add up to a large amount needed to affect change. Develop Our Villages provides the opportunity to help children in whatever way you can. You can contribute money, materials, time, or skills. When everybody comes together and pitches in, no task is impossible. This collective action has an impact and brings about change. Every individual’s contribution is important.
