CADRE-India, Centre for Action, Development, Research and Education in India, is a non-partisan, secular, voluntary organization working in partnership with the rural poor people in India. CADRE was founded by a team of social workers and grass root level activists committed for social changes with people’s participation.
Our main projects are:
Differently-abled people: blind, multi-sensory impaired and physically impaired. We raise awareness on the causes and treatments for these disabilities. We train them and their families, so that they can be independent and develop self confidence; and we give them handy crafts trainings for their economic development.
HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis: we raise awareness on these diseases and promote their treatment. We also do counselling to pregnant women and HIV infected people and give treatment for HIV positive children. We provide psychological support
Women empowerment: we train women from rural areas, so that they can have an income source that make them more independent and self-confident. Through this social isolation is also prevented.
Children: through weekly gatherings we promote their skills.
Eco farming: we train farmers in order to promote ecological agriculture.
