About

Development Foundation for Rural Areas (DEFORA) is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) that started in 1992 as a community Based Organization and later registered as an NGO in 1994. The organization was founded by six committed rural philanthropic women and one man to address the plight of marginalized poor rural communities mostly women and children to help them improve their incomes.

The issues of human rights violations, where  women  and children were abused and  denied  access to  house hold  incomes/ resources, lack of productivity and conservation  at community and house hold  levels   made  them stay  in  dire poverty. There was no enough food and no household incomes to improve their livelihoods which made them stay in poverty and hence in a state of uncertainty. This situation called for an intervention and therefore DEFORA was formed to address the plight of needy rural communities with emphasis on women and children.
