Fortunate Future Foundation

We have our setup in Ranipur Adda in Patna City. The foundation is run from the property of Surendra Prasad, who is the son of the late Mathura Singh. This is an old part of the city, and it has a lot of history and character. We aren't some new, polished group. We’ve been around this neighborhood for a long time. The Fortunate Future Foundation is basically just us sitting in the office, trying to help local kids get a better start. It’s noisy outside with the rickshaws and the markets, but that’s just how Patna City is. We don't have a lot of fancy technology. We mostly use old-fashioned ledgers and a lot of patience. Our days are spent talking to parents and trying to find resources for the local youth. It’s not always pretty, and we don't always have the answers right away. We just try to be honest and do what we can with what we have. People around here know Surendra and they know they can just walk in and talk to us. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall. We just have a calendar and a list of things that need to get done today. It’s a very local, hands-on kind of place, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Even when things get hectic with all the city noise, we keep our focus on the people who come through our door.
