Whereas many NGOs support accommodation and/or education for primary schools, most of the poor students drop-out without finishing 10th standard. Even if they pass, either they are not aware of the career options or do not the have minimum economic support as expenses steeply rise after 10th. In many cases, the girl child is married at this age. Otherwise, the boy or girl starts going to work for meager daily wages in unhealthy conditions. .
FOCT provides educational support to economically backward bright students who are committed to give back to the society. This is possibly one of the best ways to build “role models” in their specific local communities.

FOCT empowers the children of economically and socially backward communities by providing higher education support. They try to ensure that these children are given required amount of training and support in order to have a fair competition with the children from economically and socially forward sections. By helping the girl child for education beyond 10th standard, they tro to ensure that at least their next generation does not have to be under-privileged and does not have to undergo similar difficult times. They also reach out to more families and spread the awareness about importance of education and health.
