As a developmental wing of the Jesuit Chennai Province, the Province Development Office (PDO) carries out initiatives in partnership with Jesuits, well-wishers, and local and international stakeholders to address the needs of disadvantaged people.\u00a0<\/p>

We are dedicated to creating positive and lasting change in the lives of underprivileged communities. Through holistic development programs, we aim to empower individuals, families, and entire communities. Our efforts are deeply rooted in Jesuit values of service, justice, and solidarity, which inspire our mission to build a more equitable and inclusive society.<\/p>

The work of the development office of Jesuit Chennai Province is informed by the United Nations\u2019\u00a0Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs)\u00a0<\/strong>of the Society of Jesus.<\/p>

These two ambitious visions for a more just global society offer recommendations and inspiration as well as a recognizable framework for the work that we do. While no one organization could respond to all of the SDGs or fully embody the UAPs on its own, the development office of Jesuit Chennai Province is committed to working with the global community, in particular through Jesuit networks, to respond to these shared objectives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
