Transform Lives

At Calcutta Rescue Fund, we support those living in extreme poverty in Kolkata by funding healthcare, education, and living standards projects. Our mission is to support work which transforms the lives of those in need.

Our Impact

We work with two Indian charities, the Divine Script Society and Mallapur Unthnau, to support projects focused on improving educational healthcare, and living standards for people living in poverty in Kolkata, India. 

Divine Script Society is a secular charity that is led by the experienced and dedicated former management team of our previous delivery partner, Calcutta Rescue.

We no longer support the Indian charity Calcutta Rescue.

Support Our Work

Help us to fund vital work to provide improve health, education, and living standards for families living in extreme poverty. All of the money donated to Calcutta Rescue Fund directly funds projects in Kolkata.

  • £5 provides educational materials for a child
  • £10 funds a health outreach visit to a slum community
  • £20 gives a woman sewing training materials for one month
  • £35 helps to rebuild homes damaged by fires or floods
  • £75 supports a family with healthcare and education for a month

"I am absolutely delighted by the news that staff and supporters are going to continue our work serving the poorest of the poor through the Divine Script Society NGO.

That work remains as important as ever and I have complete confidence in the commitment and skills of the team who are going to be running the organisation, having worked alongside them for many years.

Please support them in any way you can."
