Life as such is challenging, and humans have made it more complicated because life has fallen into class and categories where the rich are getting richer, and the poor are dying for lack of food. At USDI, we create and execute impactful and engaging programs aimed at empowering the vulnerable in the society with the ability to access all basic necessities of life to enable them earn respect and dignity for themselves and their future generations. This work is made possible through the support of partners, well-wishers and volunteers. Helping the poor and the needy people is a priceless gift that all of us can do to give meaning to life.
