Creating Pathways to Hope and Opportunity in Rural India
IREF is advancing compassionate care, strengthening communities, and expanding access to education for thousands in need.
Our Mission
We believe the three principles of Education, Outreach, and Engagement is a faithful fulfillment of God’s command to care for the poor, downtrodden and less fortunate.
Education
Education can be the key that helps a child—and their family—break the cycle of poverty. Your support enables IREF to provide rigorous academic instruction that equips students with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed and thrive.
Outreach
Join us in continuing to support and uplift communities across India, while advocating for the safety and well-being of vulnerable groups.
