About TFT
From early parental intervention to stop neglect and abuse, through to fostering, adoption and reuniting families, we work tirelessly to make the children of Sri Lanka's lives better, forever. We are a small grassroots organisation supporting one of the poorest and most socially deprived areas in the world, and our aim is to give a voice to forgotten children, so their voices can be heard.
The approach of Their Future Today is different from other charitable organisations. Its personal vision has been to simply identify areas of need, then actively and directly spend funds raised to achieve maximum impact to individuals, and maintain longevity, consistency and sustainability in this support. We work transparently and cost-effectively as a non-political, non-sectarian and not for profit organisation.
OUR MISSION
The mission of TFT is to help end the institutionalisation and suffering of vulnerable children disadvantaged through poverty in Sri Lanka.
