Patron's Message

Dear Supporters, Volunteers, and Beneficiaries of Action for Rural Development,

As the Patron of Action for Rural Development, | am overwhelmed with pride and gratitude as | reflect on the incredible journey we have embarked upon together. Our organization has been a beacon of hope and empowerment in the lives of countless marginalized women, youth, and destitute individuals in the regions surrounding Vijayawada and across Andhra Pradesh.

Our mission to equip impoverished women with tailoring and embroidery skills has not only provided them with economic independence but also instilled in them a sense of self-worth and confidence. The computer skills training and academic tuition programs for poor youth have opened doors to new opportunities, enabling them to dream bigger and achieve more.

In times of crisis, such as during floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, our organization has stood steadfast in support of those affected. We have provided essential aid, comfort, and hope when it was needed most.

| want to extend my deepest appreciation to each one of you who has contributed to this noble cause. Your dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment are the pillars that hold our mission together. To our volunteers, donors, partners, and well-wishers: your support is invaluable.

To the women who have found their voice through our tailoring and embroidery programs: keep sewing not just clothes but also your dreams. To the youth who have gained new skills: continue to strive for excellence; your future is bright.

As we look forward to serving many more marginalized communities in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, let us remain steadfast in our resolve. Let us continue to be the change-makers we aspire to be.

Together, we can create a world where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you once again for being part of this journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Fr. Prasad Kalaparthy,
Patron, Action for Rural Development
