About Us
Byrraju Foundation was set up in July 2001 in memory of Late
Byrraju Satyanarayana Raju, an agriculturist cum successful businessman hailing from the West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh.
A large-hearted philanthropist, Satyanarayana Raju believed in the development of villages and the progress of villagers. His philanthropy consisted of numerous direct charitable donations to thousands of needy people, which helped transform their lives.
His three sons, Ramalinga Raju, Suryanarayana Raju and Rama Raju set up Byrraju Foundation, in his memory, within a week of his demise on June 27, 2001.
The Vision was to transform thousands of villages in a structured, professional manner. And in a record time of few months, the first village centres were set up and the BRF services were kick-started in 50 villages.
BRF rapidly expanded its operation to cover 200 villages, running 40 diverse programs, touching all aspects of rural life.
Byrraju Foundation is an organisation dedicated to Rural Transformation, founded with the sole intent of rapidly transforming millions of lives living in poverty, in 6,00,000 villages in India.
Our story so far spans 18 years and so is the journey of transforming two million lives in 200 villages in Andhra Pradesh, India.
What made us an outstanding success is the visionary leadership and passion for creating the best of solutions for social benefit and the highly committed and competent Byrraju team's excellence in execution and scaling.
