Third-party audits every financial year.

Compassion

People before metrics, always.

Our Story

From One Classroom to 18 States

In 2009, Ananya Krishnan left her corporate career to start a single after-school programme for 40 girls in Barmer, Rajasthan. She had no office, no staff, and ₹80,000 in savings. Within a year, all 40 girls had completed their primary education — the first in their families to do so.

Word spread. Donors came. Volunteers joined. By 2012, Future Voice Foundation was registered as an NGO and had expanded into health and water programmes. Today, we operate across 18 states with 800+ volunteers, 6 active programmes, and over 2.4 lakh lives impacted.

We remain a lean, transparent organisation. 91 paise of every rupee donated goes directly to programmes. The rest covers essential operations and auditing.
