10 years of FORGOTTEN CHILDREN IN SOUTH INDIA!

Our Mission

The Mission of FORGOTTEN CHILDREN is to improve the conditions of children living in difficult circumstances through advocacy, research, training, and projects, especially in the area of education. Eco-responsibility is also part of our mission. FORGOTTEN CHILDREN's mission is accomplished  by largely through interest free micro-credit loans made to mothers and through individual grants for specific educational programs. FORGOTTEN CHILDREN is not faith-based although its principles are rooted in doctrines of love and opportunity adhered to by all major religions. In any event, FORGOTTEN CHILDREN does not make decisions based on religious affiliation. We believe that every child has a right to enjoy childhood as well as to learn to read and write.

FORGOTTEN CHILDREN is a nonprofit organization dedicating to stopping child labor through education and micro-credit. The founder, Francoise Remington, created this organization after she witnessed working children in factories in South India.Our Projects currently in hill villages in Tamil Nadu, India, have three priorities: giving poor children the right to an education; allowing underprivileged women to generate income; and protecting the environment. Our students are former working children, who with our assistance are now back in school. Their mothers, Tribal and Dalit landless women, are organized in groups and are now able to generate  income due to our micro-credit loans,visit our Mother-Daughter Project page.Finally, we believe that protecting the environment is critical to development,visit our page on Environmental project page.
