As a non-profit organization, we are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing the social welfare of our beloved community.

At Rural Development Friends Trust (RDFT), we focus on empowering rural lives by addressing core needs such as education, healthcare, skill development, and community welfare. From sending children to school and organizing health camps to training women and youth for self-reliance — our programs are designed to create lasting, grassroots-level change in the villages that need it most.
Mr. Shaik Mansoor is the visionary Founder and Managing Trustee of Rural Development Friends Trust (RDFT). A committed social activist from Talupula, Sri Sathya Sai District, Andhra Pradesh, he has dedicated his life to the upliftment of rural communities through service, education, and empowerment.
With a strong belief in grassroots development and inspired by humanitarian values, Mr. Mansoor established RDFT on 19th June 2025 with a clear mission — to support the underprivileged, bridge the rural-urban divide, and create a more inclusive society. As Chairperson, he actively leads community initiatives, mobilizes support, and ensures that every activity of the trust stays aligned with its core values of compassion, equality, and transparency.
His leadership has been instrumental in driving projects related to rural education, free medical camps, food distribution, skill training, and women empowerment. Deeply respected in his community, Mr. Mansoor continues to serve as a guiding force for RDFT, believing that “true change begins with selfless service.”
Rural Development Friends Trust is a non-profit organization committed to bringing lasting change to underserved villages. Here’s how your donation helps:
Millions of children in rural India lack access to basic education. Your donation helps us provide school supplies, tuition support, and learning environments where children can grow, dream, and thrive — giving them a chance at a brighter future.
In areas where healthcare is a luxury, we bring it to their doorstep. Your contribution supports regular medical check-ups, distribution of medicines, and awareness programs on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention — saving lives in places that need it most.
Empowerment begins with opportunity. We offer training in tailoring, farming, digital literacy, and small-scale entrepreneurship to rural youth and women, helping them build confidence, earn a livelihood, and break the cycle of poverty.
From building water tanks to supporting self-help groups, we invest in solutions that create self-sufficient communities. Your support helps us promote agriculture, clean energy, and local infrastructure that ensures long-term rural progress.
RDFT gave my children the chance to go to school. I will forever be grateful for their kindness and support.
