GPF was founded by a legal professional who had the urge to uplift the poor from the clutches of poverty in 1997 along with a few likeminded people. Though GPF was low on its services to the poor, it geared up its works when two persons who had been working with Fr.Windey, who is the founder of Village Reconstruction Organization (VRO) joined GPF. Their commitment and rich development experience helped the organization to grow faster to reach out to hundreds of families in Prakasam and Guntur districts of Andhra Pradesh, India with a wide range of empowering programs.
