Women & Social Welfare

Empowering women and promoting social welfare have been at the heart of GRDO’s mission since its inception. Women are the backbone of society, and their empowerment creates ripples of positive change in communities. Through targeted initiatives, GRDO aims to address issues such as gender inequality, access to education, health awareness, and economic opportunities for women, especially in rural and underserved regions.

Our approach involves providing women with the resources, training, and support they need to lead independent and fulfilling lives. By fostering an environment of equality, we work towards building stronger families, resilient communities, and a more inclusive society.
