Future Hope is a charity with a strong family ethos, which started from humble beginnings in 1987. Tim Grandage, the Bank Manager at an HSBC branch in Kolkata began working with a group of children who were eking out an existence at Howrah station.
In 1998 Future Hope School was founded in response to the growing demand for places in good local schools. Future Hope recognised that education was the passport to a good life, but illiteracy and starting school late made it difficult to place children in a class that matched their age. In response Future Hope developed a system whereby children can follow an academic curriculum or a more practically orientated route, both resulting in fully Government recognised qualifications.
Over 3 decades Future Hope has worked with more than 3,000 children and young people and prides itself on its alumni who have become self-reliant, hardworking and trustworthy members of society, with steady work and happy families. Their success also breaks the cycle of poverty for future generations and enables them to help the larger community.
Along our journey many generous supporters have volunteered their time and skills to assist in establishing Future Hope: doctors willing to treat the sick children, teachers to educate them and donors to provide crucial financial support. We thank them all!
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.
