Kolkata Foundation Homepage - Kolkata Foundation Uniting around the world to fight poverty in Kolkata 100 of your donation goes directly to fighting poverty Causes We Support Our Partner Nonprofits Help spark hope in the lives of thousands of underprivileged people by educating children promoting healthcare and fighting gender violence. Kolkata Foundation is dedicated to bringing people around the world to come together and fight poverty in the city of Kolkata in eastern India where Mother Teresa did her exceptional humanitarian work. Seven decades after Indian independence millions continue to live in the city in abject poverty with no access to education healthcare or livelihood options our goal is to build a network of committed philanthropists and organizations working together using the smartest available ideas to make a difference in their lives. 100 of our administrative costs are borne by our board of trustees so that all the money raised can go back to help the poor in Kolkata.
