Through 110+ government schools, 63 learning centres, and grassroots community initiatives focused on education, women empowerment, and inclusive development.
It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report of FACE for the year 2024–25. This year has been marked by its share of ups and downs, new experiences, revelations and new challenges. Yet, we never lost our momentum. With a positive approach and unwavering commitment, we continued our efforts—and I say with pride that we have successfully achieved our targets and completed all ongoing projects within the planned time-frame. As we reflect on our twenty-two-year journey, the transformation from our early beginnings to our current, more mature and structured phase brings a deep sense of satisfaction. Our steady evolution is a testimony to our team’s dedication to the cause of social welfare and empowerment of excluded and marginalized communities. The path has never been easy—right from the outset, we faced numerous challenges and hardships. But thanks to our collective efforts, we overcame these barriers and steadily moved forward. Through consistent
engagement with our partners, community groups, stakeholders, government departments, funding agencies, and other like-minded organizations, we have built a solid foundation and sharpened our focused approach toward uplifting underprivileged sections of society. During the reporting year, we concentrated much of our approach toward uplifting underprivileged sections of society. During the reporting year, we concentrated much of our efforts on girls’ education, in partnership with IIMPACT, Gurugram, by operating 63 Elementary Education Centers for girls across 60 villages. We also implemented the Strengthening in collaboration with VibhaInc, covering Pakur and Hiranpur blocks of Jharkhand. In addition, we worked in the areas of skill development for livelihood, rights-based awareness, and health education. These interventions have been widely shared and advocated, to raise visibility of these crucial issues from the grassroots to policy-making levels.
As President, I make a sincere and renewed commitment that FACE will continue its mission with reinforced passion and purpose. Our past learnings will inspire us to move ahead with greater confidence, building on our strengths and expanding our capacities. Finally, I extend my heartfelt gratitude and respect to our community members, Governing Board, dedicated staff, government and non-government partners, and all our wellwishers. Your belief in us, your support, and your encouragement have been our greatest strengths—especially during challenging times. You are the true changemakers, the lifeblood of our efforts, and we are honoured to walk this path of social transformation alongside you.
Warm regards,
Sharique Hayat Khan
President, FACE
