SEARDF, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 2002, as a public supported, tax exempted and tax deductible NGO, with the mission of helping the very poor, the disadvantaged, and handicapped people of South East Asia. SEARDF, Inc. strives to assist in the development and implementation of rural development projects that will encourage community building, improve the lives of the people by providing employment, and protect the environment. By fostering public awareness and understanding for the special needs of the targeted population in their struggle to survive, public funding is sought to give hope to the very poor, including orphans and widows, and those who have suffered the loss of their livelihood due to injuries sustained by exploding landmines. Financial assistance is combined with education and job training to develop an understanding for the critical interplay of agriculture, nature and community, and to again make the targeted population productive members of their community.

Program Vision and Goals

Planned program activities include building of homes, school, orphanage, health clinic, shops, based on the  integrated Bio-Systems Concept to achieve sustainability with minimal external input. The major goal is to create a segment of a comprehensive project that will reach "Steady State Operations" where all systems work in a balanced, efficient & harmonious way in rural communities in South East Asian Countries. This project is to be used as a model for other sites to provide job training and education, food security, sustainable livelihoods, and improved healthcare to the rural poor, especially children and women, as well as disaster relief, infrastructure building and local governance in harmony with official local governments.

Purpose

The organization’s purpose is to assist the rural poor - including widows and orphans, disadvantaged, handicapped, internationally displaced people and refugees in South East Asia by improving their livelihoods and environment through the development and implementation of effective agricultural projects in co-operation with other organizations.
