Working with all, regardless of caste or creed, in the officially declared backward areas of Andhra Pradesh in India.


Giving to Brighter Future Development Trust  means that you don't have to worry about corruption, about paying bribes to get food and lorries to transport aid, or food lying around in warehouses eaten by rats or destroying the local economy, or to grease the palms of politicians. Your donations are paid into a British High Street Bank and transferred directly to a the Charity's Foreign Contribution bank account in Visianagaram. Your donations are spent wisely by staff who know the true cost of the goods and services they buy, as some foreign or dollar rich organisations may not be.

Brighter Future is the only charity caring for street children, railway platform children, TB and leprosy sufferers and those affected by HIV/AIDS in Vizianagaram and the surrounding districts - covering a population of more than six million.

Brighter Future tackles the underlying causes of the ostracism, deprivation and poverty, with compassion and respect, empowering sufferers and their children to become active participants and not mere passive recipients.

Brighter Future encourages the disadvantaged to break out of the cycle of poverty that the disease of leprosy has traditionally heaped upon them.

Brighter Future offers the children of leprosy-stricken parents, orphans and other needy children a loving and caring home, an education and vocational training to enable them to face the future as normal citizens.

Brighter Future works to prevent worsening disability through education, medical and custodial care.

Brighter Future helps the elderly and severely disabled to live with dignity.

Brighter Future is working in the backward areas of Andhra Pradesh in southern India where drought and typhoons are common. There is 45% unemployment in this mainly agricultural area.
