Founder's Statement

Founder Ashrita Reddy Kancharakuntla

— Ashrita Reddy Kancharakuntla, Founder of FURA

"Every child deserves a chance to dream, learn, and thrive."

I founded FURA with a simple yet powerful belief, that no one should be defined by their circumstances. Growing up, I witnessed how access to education, care, and support could transform lives. But I also saw how many young people never got that opportunity.

Through FURA, we’re working to bridge that gap, One life, one community at a time.

Our mission goes beyond charity. We focus on restoring dignity, building confidence, and creating pathways for children, women, and families to rise with resilience and purpose.

Whether it’s giving a child their first book, providing emotional support to someone struggling with mental health, or helping women build economic independence, Every small act of compassion at FURA becomes a step toward a more equal and hopeful world.

At its heart, FURA is not just an organization. It’s a movement, built on empathy, driven by purpose, and powered by the belief that together, we can make thriving communities a reality."
