Through 110+ government schools, 63 learning centres, and grassroots community initiatives focused on education, women empowerment, and inclusive development.
The Foundation for Awareness Counselling and Education (FACE) is a non-governmental organization established on 14th January 2002 and registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Since its inception, FACE has been actively engaged in educational and community welfare initiatives, primarily in Pakur district, Jharkhand.
FACE originated when a group of like-minded and committed individuals came together to provide immediate relief to victims of a devastating flood that struck Pakur, a district bordering West Bengal. Inspired by their successful relief efforts, the group formally established FACE, pledging to dedicate their time and energy to broader social welfare work.
In its early years, FACE organized relief operations and blood donation camps during natural calamities and major accidents. Gradually, the organization expanded its scope by conducting awareness campaigns to combat social evils, deep-rooted superstitions, and myths that plagued rural and illiterate populations. Responding to community health needs, FACE also facilitated access to medical aid, particularly for victims of epidemic diseases, dog bites, and snake bites. Over the time, FACE prioritized interventions aimed at improving the conditions of women and children and reducing poverty among marginalized rural communities.
The organization has consistently worked in the remotest and under-served areas of Jharkhand, with a core mission to promote literacy and social inclusion.
In the past two decades, FACE has collaborated with several government and nongovernment agencies to implement a range of development programs. At present, its key initiatives include:
FACE operates from its headquarter in Pakur town, located in the northeastern region of Jharkhand. The district continues to be home to Scheduled Castes, tribal communities, and minority groups, many of whom live in socio-economic distress. The region’s development is severely hampered by illiteracy, superstitions, and the marginalization of vulnerable communities.
FACE remains committed to transforming these challenges into opportunities for sustainable Education, Development, Equity, and Empowerment.
FACE is a non-governmental organization committed to advancing social welfare, with a strong focus on Education, Health, Women Empowerment, and Leadership Development.
