Problems in India are interconnected, so are the solutions. This is the theme behind work of Association for India's Development where we work on several interconnected small projects to make a difference. In the last 22 years of its formation AID has supported 1000+ projects and worked with 250+ partners in India.
The area of work range from environment, forest restoration, agriculture, waste management, women empowerment, child and maternal health care, education, right to information movement, anti-corruption, natural disaster relief, and many more. Apart from supporting projects, AID is also involved in campaigns.
AID is a voluntary organization and driven by students, professionals, and concerned citizens of the planet. The amount of work and outreach by AID is at the grassroots where we work with poorest of the poor in India.
