Free To Be Kids always try to fulfil a child's dream. We are supporting one young adult with Training, Food and Accommodation. Through our support he completed his class 10 standard in this year and now he has a dream of becoming a Hair Dresser. He is now attending a diploma in Hair Designing from Keya Seth College of Beauty. In addition to this, FTBK has arranged special classes for him to put into practice his newly acquired skills. We are happy to support him in getting one step closer to his dreams fulfilled.

We are so thankful to our generous donors that supported us to purchase a necessary new vehicle for our work. Often our work takes us remote villages for community visits, home & social investigations and follow up visits for recently reintegrated children. This vehicle is necessary to achieve our goals to support children and families in need in both our Residential Care setting and within our Community Projects.
