Family And Community Empowerment Support (FACES)

What is FACES?

Family And Community Empowerment Support (FACES) is a non-political welfare service oriented voluntary organisation. It was established in August 2003 in order to provide services for the poor, the distressed and disadvantaged groups of people who are living inhuman lives due to the lack of adequate and useful service oriented programmes for them.

Aims

The aim of FACES is to support and promote the conditions of the people with disabilities, children in especially difficult circumstances, oppressed women, helpless elderly people and empowerment of the disadvantaged groups of people who are living below the poverty level.

through referral services of FACES. It conducts regular free medical campaign in urban slums and rural communities.
