Our Vision

We want a peaceful and progressive society to evolve where there is solidarity for all human beings and there is ecological balance that ensures Physical, Mental and Spiritual Growth of everybody by sharing the Earth equally now and keeping it sustained for eternity.

Our Mission

SFDC is an Non-Profit Non—Government Organization that endeavors to build peace, communal harmony and spirituality among the women, men and children of Adivasi, Dalits and other communities through a process of development intervention, non-violent conflict transformation and applied spirituality.

Our Belief

We strongly believe that Peace and Development are closely interlinked and cannot exist without each other. We need lasting Peace for which one need Sustainable Development with Justice. We know that if development fails conflict happens where poor and marginalized communities, especially from Adivasi& Dalit communities, suffer most. We also believe that Spirituality generates virtues to lessen sufferings, which helps bring Peace and Development.

Our Core Values
