About us

The School Friends Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of children living in rural and urban poverty or from the BPL (below poverty level) family through improving their education, health and family economic stability. This Foundation is managed by group of schoolmates from Rourkela passionate, enthusiastic professionals’ individuals in our 40s with a vision, personal stories, and a lot of hope for a better tomorrow. We realized that life beyond boardroom presentations, Corporate race, compensation packages etc is much more satisfying and worth trying before the curtains drop.
How it Started?
It was conceptualized in Kolkata, one raining evening driving through the streets, along with schoolmates who had gathered for a reunion, safely ensconced inside an SUV, we witnessed a remarkable and touching sight which ignited our souls with passion and zeal to give back to society and transform lives. The sight of the mother, herself drenched, shielding her young children in rags from the pouring rain with a semi torn plastic sheet while taking refuge under an overhang bamboo mat shed of a roadside “goomti” (temporary shop), spurred us into thinking – the worth of the Life we lived vs the life we could live. The blanket of motherly love overshadowing the fragility of life and protecting her loved ones even in the face of grave adversity and hardships, made us realize - that it’s either now or never… And thus was born – the idea of forming an organization consisting of friends sharing similar views about life and zeal to serve the less privileged, selflessly.

Our Strong Mission

How We Work?

We work to meet the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)- 3, 4 & 6 ie. Good health and well being, Quality Education, and Clean Water and Sanitation. It starts by identifying the children, people and places most in need. We then work closely with our partners to find solutions that combine bold thinking with real-world experiences. We approach the beneficiaries and go directly into communities and learn about families’ struggles and aspirations, then pair those most in need with proven, practical solutions to help them move forward. We firmly believe that true progress and transformative, sustainable change are the products of time, hard work, and a willingness to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who live and breathe the challenges we aim to overcome. We know we can’t solve every problem, but with collaboration and determination we can accelerate real progress for real people every day.
