Mother Teresa Rural Development Trust was founded on 05 June 2003 in Karnataka, India, with a simple but powerful purpose—to bring hope, dignity, and opportunity to people living on the margins of society. For more than two decades, the Trust has walked alongside rural families, women, youth, and inland and coastal fishing communities who face daily struggles for livelihood, education, healthcare, and security.
We believe that every human life has equal worth and that lasting change begins when people are empowered, not forgotten. Our work focuses on women empowerment, education, skill development, sustainable livelihoods, community health, environmental protection, and youth development. Each program is designed to restore self-reliance, strengthen families, and help communities rise with confidence and resilience.
Mother Teresa Rural Development Trust operates with complete transparency and legal integrity. The Trust is registered under Registration No. 05/2003-04, approved under Section 80G for Indian donors, and holds valid FCRA registration (No. 094450043), allowing us to receive and responsibly manage foreign contributions. Every donation is used with care, accountability, and respect for the trust placed in us.
