TSF programs are developed within the framework of 4 core values:

Mission

“All children and adolescents have meaningful opportunities to grow and learn”

We serve children and young people who are in vulnerable situations, promoting their development and autonomy, through foster care in protective family environments and the strengthening of their family, social and community networks.

Founded jointly in 2020 by us, The Saviours Foundation (TSF) is a unique grassroots organization whose mission is to assist the popular, democratic movement in India. TSF is based on the premise that the Indian people understand how development is best achieved in their country. Therefore, the foundation follows the lead of grassroots organizations in program and priorities. TSF never dictates to a community organization what should be done. Through discussion and reflection, the people decide what is best for their community and present the project to TSF for support.

History

The Saviours Foundation (TSF) was created in 2017 by a small group of people who had experienced the despair of poverty firsthand and witnessed the power of education to transforms lives. Our goal is to alleviate global poverty so that no child ever goes to bed hungry, is lost to preventable diseases, or is deprived of the gift of education for lack of resources. We believe that universal education, gender equality, and community-led transformation are key to alleviating poverty. Our approach is to partner with grassroots educational programs that provide education to people of all backgrounds, empower women and girls, and emphasize character education and service to the community.

The roots of The Saviours Foundation (TSF) can be traced back to the vision and heart of our dynamic founders. From a humble start in 2017, God has blessed journey to serve those crippled by poverty. To empower the poorest of the poor around the world so they can become agents of change within their communities. Today, TSF continues its mission as a voice for the silent, an opportunity for the oppressed and water for those who thirst. TSF helps provide the dignity that comes from an educated mind, a healthy body, an honest day’s wage and a safe place to heal. TSF is the one who comes alongside those gripped by poverty to offer a hand up instead of a handout.

Board of Advisor

A well-structured advisory board with best practice principles allows people in the organization to test their strategic thinking and access expertise or connections that may not be readily available via other means.

The purpose of most advisory boards is to help the organization gain new insights and advice to solve business problems or explore new opportunities by stimulating robust, high-quality conversations. The role of an advisory board is not to make decisions, but rather to provide current knowledge, critical thinking and analysis to increase the confidence of the decision-makers who represent the company.

Management Committee

Management committee members carry out a vital role within the voluntary sector. Their role is not necessarily about doing, it is about ensuring things are done. They ensure that everything the organisation does supports its vision, purpose and aims. They establish the fundamental values, the ethical principles and strategic direction in which the organisation operates

Management committee members have ultimate responsibility for directing the activity of the organisation, ensuring it is well run and delivering the outcomes for which it has been set up.
