Shoishob Foundation | Building Brighter Childhoods as a Trusted NGO in Kolkata
Where Little Dreams Take Root
Shoishob – A Foundation for Children was established on 11th August 2021 with one simple belief: We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
As a trusted NGO in Kolkata and a committed child welfare organisation in Kolkata, we stand beside more than 400 children, nurturing their growth through quality education, nutritious meals, healthcare, cultural activities, computer literacy, and skill development.
Our mission reaches beyond childhood. As a child and women empowerment organisation, we help women build stronger, more independent futures through tailoring classes, financial empowerment initiatives, and hygiene programmes that uplift entire families and communities.
Our journey may still be unfolding, but with every child we support and every woman we empower, we move closer to a future shaped by hope, dignity, and opportunity.
Every child's hands are meant to hold dreams, not despair :)
We welcome all hearts every caste, faith, community. Your compassion transcends boundaries. Together, we transform lives.
Life without childhood is just surviving
We give them both :)
