For more than 35 years Future Hope has been helping vulnerable children escape the poverty and danger of the streets by providing safe homes where they feel cared for and happy.
Future Hope is a charitable organisation which provides opportunity through its homes, school, sports and medical programme for some of
the most vulnerable children from the streets and slums of Kolkata, India.
We put society's most vulnerable children at the centre of all we do, and after more than 35 years we understand the problems they face,
and the solutions that dramatically and permanently change their lives for the better
Future Hope offers an excellent all-round education to street & slum children who are given the opportunity to realise their potential and find a path to an independent life.
Sign up for our regular email newsletters and every month or so we will send you a roundup of what is going on at Future Hope in Kolkata and with our supporters around the world.

Ready for you to enjoy soon, the podcast “Hope Within The Mango Trees” is the complete story of Future Hope; from humble beginnings back in the 1980s through to the thriving present day of bright futures and lives transformed!
This astonishing story is told from the streets of one of the great cities of the world and, at the centre, sit hundreds of extraordinary children. Kids who arrive with nothing, often severely malnourished, but who, invariably, leave with bright futures; lives transformed.
