Welcome to the Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF)
Established in 2014 by a dedicated group of professional social workers, the Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF) is a distinguished autonomous and 'not-for-profit' organization in India, committed to poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Our journey began with a vision to create a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged individuals and communities, and since then, we have grown into one of the most successful organizations in this domain. At SDF, we firmly believe in the power of multidimensional programs to address the root causes of poverty. Our efforts are focused on empowering disadvantaged individuals, particularly women, by building sustainable village institutions. By nurturing their talents, enhancing economic abilities, and promoting healthy living, we strive to provide them with the opportunity to live with dignity and self-respect, exercising their rights effectively within society. Our dedication to creating lasting change has led us to register under the Indian Trust Registration Act 1882 on Sep 16, 2014, solidifying our commitment to transparency and accountability.
Our Mission
The mission of SDF is to empower disadvantaged communities through implementing integrated programs that promote capacity building, infrastructure development, job creation, and inclusive financial support for sustainable activities. SDF’s programs aim to build resilient and self-sustaining communities, fostering financial independence, social equality, and environmental consciousness.
Our Vision
SDF’s vision is to eradicate poverty through sustainable development and women empowerment, envisioning a future where every community can thrive independently with equitable access to resources, skills, and opportunities. SDF strives to achieve this vision by adopting an integrated approach, addressing fundamental areas such as health, livelihood, and education, and ensuring the creation of long-term sustainable support systems for these communities.
