CORD’s highly successful rural development methodology is based on active participation where it trains and empowers the villagers instead of charitable giving. CORD is a bond of Love and Understanding, encouraging a process of sharing which enriches both the giver and the receiver.

CORDUSA is a secular, non-profit organization that strives to facilitate sustainable social help programs in local communities and in the Indian subcontinent through processes of self-empowerment and enrichment.
