About FoC

ABOUT US

Friends of Children (F0C) was founded in 2003 by a group of individuals with a dream to lend a helping hand to society. The underlying objective was to reach out to deserving youth using education as a medium to help them grow as strong individuals with an opportunity for a sustainable livelihood. What an incredible journey it has been...8 years and going strong.

Our core objective is still the same – “Empowering through Education”. FoC sponsors higher education as well as vocational education for meritorious students subsequent to their initial school years. At present we do not accept applications for sponsorship below standard 10.

From 26 students in 2003 we now have around 350 students across the greater Maharashtra region. Our activities have also widened to include a number of complimentary areas in addition to financial support, such as provision of textbooks, trainer camps & skill sessions, mentor & guide networks, Spoken English training sessions etc. We continue to grow and evolve.

There are many ways that you can help –please check the "How Can I help - Important Donor information" link for additional details.

Every child has a DREAM & YOU have the POWER to fulfill it.

Narayangaon,Junnar, Ale meeting held on 08'September

On September 08, we had a series of meetings with all our students in the Ale phata, Narayangaon, Junnar, Ghodegaon, Manchar areas. Our volunteers (Vani, Aparna and Ajay) visited all the the regions and spoke to the students about the new training programs planned for them in the year. The new guidelines were also discussed with everyone. From this year onwards all students will be taught to use the internet and email usage by the end of September. After that all students will need to access our website to get information regarding all meetings, training dates which will be held in all regions. This will help students get more internet savvy in addition to being aware of all activities which will be conducted from time to time in all regions. This year we have prepared a detailed curriculam for soft skill trainings, computer skills, English skills and social responsibility which will be imparted to the students over a course of three years. All meetings were well attended by the students and regional volunteers and students were very enhusiastic about the coming year activities and training plans.
