At Rural Empowerment Foundation (REF), our work is rooted in community participation and sustainable development. We believe real change happens when people are empowered with knowledge, skills, and access to essential services. Our programs focus on improving health, education, livelihoods, and environmental well-being in rural and tribal areas.
