About Us

The Centre for Rural Empowerment and Development Organization (CREDO) is a non-profit organization, founded in 2010 and based in Shikhong Bazar, Nongpok Sekmai, Thoubal District, Manipur. Since its inception, CREDO has remained steadfast in its mission to create inclusive growth opportunities for marginalized and underserved communities, particularly those in rural and remote areas.
