For more nearly 40 years Future Hope has been helping vulnerable children escape the poverty and danger of the streets by providing them with a safe home and loving community.
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 provides an excellent, all-round education to street & slum children—opening doors to opportunity, helping them discover their potential, and guiding them to independent, fulfilling lives.
Be the first to hear heartwarming stories from Kolkata and inspiring updates from our students. Sign up for our bi-monthly email and see the impact you’re helping to create—one child at a time!

Our Annual Newsletter is here - Empowering Young Minds to Aspire! 
This edition of our newsletter is focused on one of our core values: Opportunity.
For each child in our care, opportunity is more than just a chance—it is the key to unlocking their future. It is what helps them grow, aspire, and ultimately thrive. In the words of one of our alumni,
"I was a girl without dreams because of my poverty. After coming to Future Hope,
I started to dream not small dreams but big dreams".
With 38 years of experience working with children from traumatic backgrounds and desperately vulnerable families, we understand the value of opportunity as the seed for hope, passion and aspiration.
From a love of science, we have seen Rahul aspire to be an optometrist and Hena a microbiologist, from the joy of the oval ball Sadhika now plays rugby for India, from the creativity of art Puja will become an interior designer and from the warmth of care in our Future Hope family many go on to create stable families of their own.
We hope you enjoy reading more in our Annual News.
