KIRF India provides education, medical care and the tools for economic self-suffiency to women and children of the Dalit caste in rural villages in the state of Bihar, India. While the caste system no longer exists legally, socially it is still experienced every day by the poor. By providing an education and basic needs for survival, KIRF India is improving the lives of children and families so they and their decendents may have a better future. KIRF India partners with villagers for ecolologically and financially sustainable development that is culturally Indian.

Currently, there are three KIRF India Educational Centers which serve more than 400 children in the rural villages of Savodaypuri, Bairadih and Sabel Bigha.

For fours years I have had the honor and pleasure of
volunteering for a few weeks with Diane and KIRF
India. It fills my soul seeing the children in the schools
learning and smiling and laughing. Being just a
small part of helping this happen is a joy.
