Genesis:

Global Relief Activities of Poor and Ecumenical Society(GRAPES) is a secular grass root level social service voluntary organisation established in 2004 under the provisions of societies registration act, 35 of 2001. The organisation was formed with the co-operation of dedicated social workers and enthusiastic service minded group with a view to help the helpless rural poor community through various developmental activities.

The birth of Global Relief Activities of Poor and Ecumenical Society(GRAPES) is a response, indeed an emotional one to the problems of illiteracy, ignorance, ill health, malnutrition, unemployment and inadequate medical and educational facilities that were widely prevalent in backward villages in Singarayakonda mandal of Prakasam district. Hence the organisation formed with no profit motive and dedicated to solving the identified problems.
