In the charity's own words
Building Better Futures International fosters the talents and skills of women and girls in Tamil Nadu, India, so they can lift themselves out of poverty permanently and is an enabler of self-help for families and communities to build their own futures. Every pound we raise goes directly on the Indian projects: all UK costs are met by Trustees and volunteers.
