Village Reconstruction Organization

Village Reconstruction Organization is a non-governmental organization in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India. It supports structurally weak, impoverished, and unregistered villages in the coastal regions of Southeast India. Since 1969, it has helped rebuild 505 of these villages, which are often destroyed by natural catastrophes. It also helps villagers through expert advice and funding for the creation of training and health centers, schools, homes for the elderly and children, and programs for the support of women. The organisation was founded by Belgian Jesuit Michael A. Windey and is supported largely by European organizations and donor cities.
The organization assists with the construction of villages as well as facilities within the villages: schools and skills training centers, health clinics, childcare and community centres, and homes for children and homes for the elderly, especially among the dalits.
