For more than 30 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 33 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.

News
Thank you from the entire Future Hope Family for your unstinting support in caring for our children.
Our trustees, staff and children rose to all the challenges of one of the severest lockdowns in the world and kept all our homes and operations running, whilst also taking in 60 new children. Together we distributed rations to nearly 70,000 people in West Bengal and helped several thousand migrants return home in Delhi, giving each of them hope and basic security.
We have a strong team as a result, with everyone taking pride in their work.
Let 2021 be a year of hope, good health and togetherness.
A very Happy New Year!
Erica, Tim and Sujata.
