Today RDT conducts robust, well-entrenched projects designed to ensure access to quality education, primary and hospital health care, housing and basic services; to support the empowerment of women, people with disabilities and tribal communities, and to unleash the full potential of future generations through culture and sports. RDT works in partnership with the communities, other grassroots organizations and the Government to provide long-term solutions that contribute to eradicating poverty and reducing inequalities.

At 55, Eeramma wrote her name for the first time ✍️

For Eeramma, learning to read and write was more than just a skill; it was a reminder that learning had no age limit. From relying on thumb impressions to signing her own name, Eeramma’s journey reflects how right support can create opportunities for people of all ages.

Through our Rural Library Programme, we continue creating opportunities for people of all ages to learn, grow and build confidence.

Together, let’s continue making education accessible to all.
