Raah Foundation Inc., was established in the United Stated as a tax exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to raise funds in the US to support the work done by Raah Foundation India.
Climate change is upon us and we are supporting projects that are converting barren land into carbon sinks. These projects are also reviving biodiversity and supporting climate change mitigation.
Water underpins all social problems and is at the core of any development effort. We support large scale programs that are making rural villages water positive. This is done by building infrastructure to collect and harvest rainwater for year-round use for drinking (human & cattle), hygiene and farming.
