Dwaraknath Reddy Ramanarpanam Trust

Dwaraknath Reddy Ramanarpanam Trust (DRRT), founded by Mr. Dwaraknath Reddy began its work with women, youth and children, initiating different programs and activities enabling communities to determine their own rights and live with dignity and security in sustainable human settlements.

The Trust's path was carved out by responding to the needs of a community in a slum or a village that required interventions by mobilizing and organizing people for action. Such action included education towards transformation, forming cultural empowerment networks with different communities, enabling women with livelihoods based on traditional knowledge and skills, revival of disappearing indigenous community based traditional art forms, resolving land, shelter and infrastructure issues, and training children, women and youth for leadership development.
