Rural Development Organization (RDO) is a non-partisan, non-governmental public interest/humanitarian organization working in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) since 1997 to uplift the marginalized segments of society by improving their socio-economic condition through community empowerment. The great stress of the era is to reach and address the needs of the vulnerable population everywhere in the World at large and the region in particular for helping the marginalized and poverty ridden communities.
RDO is working with innovative approaches for sustainable development as well as in critical situations such as natural calamities and disasters at gross root level to get the affected communities out of quagmires and help them rehabilitate towards routine life. RDO works through a chain of community groups and volunteers in different communities to facilitate the local population to contribute in eradicating the prevailing situation of poverty and social distress. The purpose of the organization is to provide assistance to groups, communities and especially to children, women, elders and people with disability to make them able to fight against illiteracy, hunger, homelessness, exploitation, abuse and to work for positive behavioural change.
Establishing a society where every citizen has access to basic human rights and improved socio-economic conditions without any discrimination.
To empower marginalized communities especially women, youth, and disabled focusing on awareness raising, advocacy, community participation, gender mainstreaming, improved livelihood, and access to basic facilities.
