About Fundacion Vicente Ferrer

The Vicente Ferrer Foundation (FVF) is a Development Non-Governmental Organization committed since 1969 to the transformation of rural areas in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (southeast India). We work with impoverished communities and particularly vulnerable groups: women and people with disabilities. We are a humanist organization founded on the philosophy of action of Vicente Ferrer, who was able to involve people in their own development to eradicate inequalities and achieve social justice. Our development model in India, exemplary within the framework of cooperation, aligns with the UN's global proposals to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
