The Rural Development Foundation is an NGO established by the Primate of Poland on June 30, 1999. It came as a result of the merger between the Water Supply Foundation and the Agricultural Foundation. Over the years many different programs have developed to help the rural communities of Poland. == History== The foundation was created by two separate organizations merging. The Water Supply Foundation and The Agricultural Foundation make up what is now the current Rural Development Foundation. '' Water Supply Foundation '' This organization was established in 1987 from negotiations between the Catholic Church and the Communist regime. The main goal was to allow foundations to exist because the state had owned all property and existing foundations by law since 1952. The Water Supply Foundation supplied grants and loans to construct water and sewage systems in rural communities. Also, the foundation worked to organize trainings for locals starting small businesses, agrotourism, environmental protection, and learning about democracy. '' Agricultural Foundation '' This organization began in 1991. The main goal was to make rural communities less dependent on agriculture by creating other options for income. The foundation made this possible through supplying loans to people so they could become more independent and establish their own work places. The Agricultural Foundation was the only non-governmental organization in the country at the time and supported small water retention projects and reconstructing small hydro-electric power sites. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rural Development Foundation, Poland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
