We aim in providing legal support to the migrated women and build social equality for a healthy atmosphere.

With the aim of strengthening the society we, at SAFDAR, are working towards the uplift of marginalized communities of our society by shoving them towards the development and advertisement of their culture and knowledge for democratic development.

Geographical Coverage

We aim in working for the rural and urban group of people all across the country. As the initial step towards the fulfillment of our objective we are presently working in the tribal hinterlands of Jharkhand i.e. Chatra, Palamu, Ranchi, Khunti, Garhwa and Koderma.

S.A.F.D.A.R. in a span of around six years has made its place among the PTGs, indigenous people and the minority section of the society. With an excellent team work, our team members are constantly working towards the achievement of its valuable objective in areas which are still unexplored by the government as well as other self-help groups. We have explored the deep forests trying to discover the earthed art and culture of the people residing in those areas.
