About Us

Community Recycle Education Development (CRED) Trust

CRED Trust ensures that underprivileged and marginalised people get access to all the facilities like education, shelter, job and trainings through development programs and training sessions.

CRED is a grassroots nonprofit organization established in 2005, dedicated to improving the lives of rural communities in Tamil Nadu. Initially operating in Pudukkottai district, CRED has since expanded its reach to cover the entire state, focusing on empowering underprivileged populations through sustainable development initiatives. Promoted and managed by committed social workers from Pudukkottai and Thanjavur districts, the organization works tirelessly to address pressing social, economic, and health challenges faced by rural communities. CRED has built a strong partnership with the Government of India’s development departments, leveraging these connections to deliver impactful programs and services that uplift marginalized groups, foster community well-being, and promote long-term growth and self-reliance.
