Our Vision

To care and enrich the lives of the most neglected elderly and give them the opportunity to live a fulfilled and dignified life.

Our Mission

To care for the deserted and destitute elderly, and support them during their most vulnerable times in life.

FOKE was established to offer help and support to the destitute elderly of Kolkata.

At both homes we have dedicated staff who care for the members in accordance with the mission and loving standards of FOKE. We also have outreach programs for non-residential members who have been identified by friends or staff and referred to us. For them we provide regular meals, subsistence funding or medical care as required and on an ongoing basis.

BHALOBASHA

An oasis of calm within the bustling suburb of Thakurpukur in South Kolkata

Bhalobasha, (the House of Love) is currently home to 15 female residents- all of whom were rescued from the streets of Kolkata. It can comfortably accommodate upto 15 residents at a time. FOKE’s core philosophy is to provide a loving family setting for our residents as opposed to providing institutional care and this has worked wonders for the morale and mental health of all who come to us. Our residents live together as a family and take an active interest in the events, programmes and daily chores involved in running a household. They are looked after by a loving team of dedicated staff who keenly observe and provide for their every need just as we would do for our parents and elders at home.
