Developing Indigenous Resources (DIR) strives to improve
life-standards in the most neglected areas of
developing countries.

Our chief expertise is in developing the resources
of communities so the residents are empowered to
solve their own most serious problems.

We believe the best solution to a problem is brought to it
by the people who have the problem, and therefore the best
course of action is to develop indigenous resources.

We are a charitable non-profit incorporated
in the State of California.
