Our Story and Our Work
From One Vision to Thousands of Lives Changed
Founded in 1994 by a group of socially committed individuals, RIDO began as a modest initiative with a powerful dream—to ensure that no rural citizen in Annamayya District is left without support. From humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a vibrant organization with programs spanning health, education, livelihood, and care. Our grassroots approach and deep community relationships allow us to respond to real needs with real solutions. We believe development is not about charity—it’s about justice. We welcome you to be a part of our mission.
