Family Services Foundation (FSF) has had programs in place since 1995, reaching out to street children via value education programs and workshops, counseling and entertainment programs. Additionally their programs for the deaf community orchestrate leadership-training, counseling, awareness, cultural programs and job placement.

In the medical field FSF has contributed their services to cancer rehabilitation programs, mobilizing of treatment as well as needed funding for cancer patients, and a range of other programs geared to bettering the conditions of the blind and disabled, and are now working on rehabilitation of AIDS victims as well as health awareness programs in schools and colleges, along with hosting seminars.

Networking With Other Organizations

FSF has found the best investment of resources and manpower is to support and enhance the efforts of other dedicated organizations. We focus on improving the quality of the life for children in shelters and hospitals through holding motivational camps, excursions, outings, vocational training, and character building via audio-video programs.

Uplifting the Deaf Community

FSF trainers conduct regular Literacy Classes, Sign Language Courses, personality development programs and training in social work for the deaf. About 200 deaf youth participate in these weekly classes at a local school. These classes have helped the participants cope with their deafness, overcome their handicap and adopt a more positive attitude to life in general. They also help to facilitate vocational training for the deaf and create employment opportunities for them. Through this project many deaf have started various self-employment ventures.

Assisting Street Children

As in other Indian cities, migrants flock to Hyderabad in search of a better livelihood. The communities that are forced to migrate the most are the most marginalized, which also includes the often-unnoticed groups of children, who eke out their living on the streets.
