Deva Access Projects

Deva International’s projects are aimed at serving the poor and the general public. The projects are specific in nature and are designed to tackle some of the intractable problems confronting the poor, rural communities, children, women, and the underprivileged.

Through these projects, Deva aims to positively and in practical ways affect the lives of the less privileged among us. Besides, the projects give Deva and the staff the everyday and firsthand practical experience necessary and needed for them to efficiently execute the activities of the organization, as itemized above.
