"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it"
- M. K. Gandhi
India’s Forgotten Children Foundation (India FCF) was established in 2004 to help educate the impoverished and marginalized lower-caste (Dalit) children and their illiterate families in rural Gujarat (the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi), India.
India FCF is a non-religious, politically non-partisan, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All monetary contributions to India FCF are tax deductible up to the amount allowed by law.
Mission Statement:
India FCF will do its best to help India's forgotten children grow up into healthy, self-sufficient, contributing members of a wholesome village community.
Impoverished children and their families in urban and rural India face unimaginable daily hardship. Hundreds of millions of Indians continue to have very limited or no access to quality education, healthcare, family planning and/or reproductive and child health services. The resulting illiteracy and high population growth rate overshadows the recent stellar economic growth in India.
Basic education is considered to be an essential human right. A recent UNESCO report on education suggests that “fighting ‘education poverty’ is key to better progress.” The report also found that, worldwide, “extreme and persistent inequalities linked to poverty, gender, ethnicity and language are holding back progress in education, wasting human potential and undermining prosperity. Lost opportunities for education hinder economic growth, and efforts to reduce poverty and improve health
Your help is needed to educate, feed and to provide healthcare needs of illiterate low-caste children and their families in India.
