RAIN TRUST NGO is a Non-profit, non-governmental organisation established in 2019 by four friends in Hiriyur town, Chitradurga district on 27-05-2019 to provide social services.

Since then, the organization has mainly made environmental protection its main mission. People and livestock were left without water, animals and birds started dying without water, agriculture suffered a great blow, people started migrating, and drinking water became a major concern in rural areas. Crops dried up, and people faced a situation where they were also facing drinking water shortages.

Environmental Crisis and the Call for Action- Rain Trust

At that time, Rain Trust organization, after seeing the ill effects of the lack of monsoon, was ready to grow trees, nurture them and create awareness about the environment. Today, everyone is suffering from one or the other disease, most people are working hard to improve their health, it is a painful thing that young children are getting diseases like heart attack, cancer, diabetes, young people are suddenly falling and dying, observing such factors, the Rain Trust organization, mainly due to the use of plastic in hotels, tea shops, for food processing, for packing food packets, drinking excessive amounts of bottled water, consumption of high cholesterol foods, consumption of junk food, lack of exercise for the body and many other reasons.

Rain Trust – Several Initiatives

The Rain Trust organization gave a call for the Plastic Free Karnataka Movement on 12-01-2024. Under this program, the ill effects of plastic are being made known to schools and colleges, women, children, farmers and self-service organizations, and the society and neighbours who are directly facing its effects are being given a living example. Then, meditation programs, Mother’s Day-like programs, and awareness campaigns are being carried out by going door to door to create awareness among the public to use cloth bags as an alternative to plastic under the “Use Cloth Bags – Quit Plastic” campaign.

Empowering Rural Children Through Education and Technology

Most of the schools in rural areas do not have proper internet facilities, proper auditoriums, computers, proper toilets, and basic amenities. We believe that it is very important to instil a scientific attitude and technology in the children of rural areas. Rain Trust is working hard to realise these dreams through many projects and initiatives, such as the sustainability of women in rural areas, good education for children, and the empowerment of women. Since 2019, RAIN TRUST has worked in all fields to promote a good society.

We are working with children, protecting their rights, women and their rights, women empowerment, sapling plantation, awareness programs and many more.
