Byrraju Foundation

Byrraju Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on improving the quality of life among the rural poor and under-privileged. Established in July 2001, it aims at building progressive self-reliant communities through adoption of a holistic approach and coordinated action. These include promotion of rural initiatives, knowledge management and process transfer, and assistance in creation of "soft infrastructure" in areas such as healthcare, sanitation, primary education, adult literacy, skills development, safety and environment. The foundation currently works in 198 villages in 6 districts of Andhra Pradesh (East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur, Ranga Reddy and Visakhapatnam) positively transforming the lives of nearly 3 million people.
