"Together we can be the change we want to see in the world."
Founded in May 2007, Hope for the Children Foundation (HFCF) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering vulnerable communities through long-term development programmes for children, women, and youth.
Our core focus areas are Education and Child Protection to promote child-friendly mechanisms and spaces where young people can thrive. We also work with various Communities for their Development and, in times of crisis, extend humanitarian assistance to save lives, uphold dignity, and restore hope.
Guided by the principles of the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the Foundation works to bridge the gap between communities and government systems, ensuring that every child’s right to protection, participation, and development is upheld.
Through the flagship initiative, Child-Friendly Maharashtra, HFCF fosters safe, inclusive, and enabling environments where children’s voices are heard and their well-being is prioritised, implementing nine innovative Child-Friendly models.
At Hope for the Children Foundation (HFCF), we are committed to creating a safer environment for children through innovative Child-Friendly and protective initiatives.
Children in the communities we serve, especially girls, often lack access to quality education due to economic challenges, limited awareness, and restrictive home environments.
Equity, inclusion, diversity, non-discrimination and protection are the fundamental principles for creating Women and Child-Friendly communities in urban and rural settings.
