The dZi Foundation Revitalize A Village (RAV) program is based on an innovative model of rural development that excels in areas where no other organization has worked before. RAV empowers communities to embrace sustainable, durable development that meets their most essential needs and fits within the existing social framework.

Our model encourages poor communities to discover their own abilities and skills to create structural and permanent change in the areas of educational opportunities and facilities; basic health and hygiene; gender and caste equity; and income generation.
