Review for Developing Indigenous Resources, El Cerrito, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Based in the adjoining city and working in the similar field of Public Health, I have been in constant touch with DIR and its staff. Having watched its work on ground, I definitely vouch for the organization as it is only one of very few organization in the area that actually are doing great work in the field. With the growth of numerous spurious NGOs around, it is necessary that the work of a genuine organization be recognized and supported. The way in which the indigenous people and resources of the target population have been recruited and trained in dealing with health problems of the area is really amazing. Infact the whole project is a replicable and should definitely be taken to more places in the country. The transparent and professional management combined with local inputs and support makes this organization a perfect model of community participation for a country with limited resources.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

creating a healthier environment for the kids in the slum.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

totally transparent and really really works on ground unlike many organizations that only work on papers

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

are very friendly, knowledge seeking, interactive with the community and punctual.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

1.actually arrange some more teachers for their 'schooling' project 2.could work out more health educational tools. 3.could replicate the same model elsewhere.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
