    About us

    Building stronger communities through education and employment

    Development Innovation Foundation (DIF) is a social start-up improving the lives of vulnerable people in India. DIF focuses on linking rural people with government benefits and with jobs that won’t exploit them, and on ensuring that girls have access to education. By investing in education and livelihoods, we break the cycle of poverty and build stronger, more resilient communities.
