The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA is committed to eradicating poverty and inequality in rural India by empowering the country’s most vulnerable populations—women, children, and people with disabilities. Our mission is to create sustainable, inclusive communities where every person, regardless of background or ability, has the opportunity to live with dignity and purpose. We partner with local implementation partners in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to implement long-term, community-driven development programs. Our holistic approach addresses interconnected challenges across education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, disability inclusion, sustainable livelihoods, and climate resilience. Central to our mission is the belief that lasting change must come from within communities themselves. That’s why we engage local populations in identifying needs, designing solutions, and leading implementation—ensuring relevance, ownership, and sustainability. By removing systemic barriers and investing in human potential, the Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA helps transform entire communities from a place of vulnerability to one of opportunity. Since our founding, we have positively impacted the lives of more than 3.6 million people—and we continue to work toward a future where rural development is truly inclusive and no one is left behind.
