Welcome to Dina Foundation

The Dina Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides aid and long term relief in countries in the Third World.  The majority of our work takes place in Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, India and Indonesia. The intent of the foundation is always to help the most needy and vulnerable in the regions where we are active. Our focus has therefore been on children and women who are victims of war and sexual violence, and persecuted minority groups such as the TWA people, also known as pygmies.

We always work closely with local people and try to balance the need for immediate aid with sustainable long term efforts.  All our facilities are locally managed with frequent visits from the organizations headquarters. We also invite our donors and supporters to visit our facilities through organized team trips.
