The History of Foundation for Children in Need
Foundation of Children in Need (FCN) is a not-for-profit organization with 501 (C) 3 tax exempt status. FCN was established in 2002 by Dr. Geetha Yeruva and Thomas Reddy Chitta along with several friends who adopted children from India. It's because of their connection with India there grew a desire to help those in need.
Presently, FCN is sponsoring nearly 1600 children and college students and 100 elderly in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. FCN also addresses various needs such as medical care, health education, women development and others.
FCN is guided and directed by a seven Board of Directors. Each one of them is committed, experienced and gifted. They are very much interested in reaching out to the needy in the villages of India. FCN is supported by many dedicated volunteers and advisers.
All the board of directors, advisers and volunteers give of their time and talent to serve the poor in India.
Since 1980, Dr. Geetha Yeruva and Thomas Chitta have been working in the villages in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in South India. Through many years of experience and with the encouragement and support of friends in the United States of America that have adopted or sponsored children from India, there grew a desire to pool the resources to reach out to the needy in India.
Dr. Geetha and Thomas facilitate the sponsorship program assisted by part time staff and volunteers in U.S.A and by teachers, social workers and staff in India. They organize and supervise all the FCN programs in India assisted by FCN staff and volunteers.
