What FIDR values

“Width”- Responding to local needs-

We grasp, at site and from a broad perspective, what are necessary for the society for children to grow healthily. We find various issues and problems surrounding children which might be medical and educational problems, development of local industry, mutual help among local residents, and recovery of livelihood from disaster. Our activities stretch to various sectors as we respond to local needs where crucial issue exists and outside supports are necessary.

“Depth” - Providing professional inputs and effective support

NGOs have strength to do professional work effectively and efficiently. We make sure to improve knowledge and skills of local people by receiving support from experienced professionals in various stages of project---survey, implementation, and evaluation. Our staff, who are in charge of project operation and management continue gaining knowledge regarding assigned project and also facilitation and management skills such as program planning and evaluation to pursue highly effective and professional work.
