The Power Of Sports To Transforms Lives
There are at least 18 million street children in India. India has over 12 million child labourers below the age of 14.*
We at HotFut believe in the power of sports to transform lives and create better human beings. This is the Raison d'etre of HotFut.

TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, EMPOWERMENT AND UPLIFTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO THE UNDERPRIVILEGED AT WORLD CLASS SPORTS FACILITIES.
For a country like India where only 1% of the population has access to organised physical activities, HotFut foundation provides a whole new platform for the delivery of sport for development programs.
Members and associates of HotFut sports volunteer in programs developed by HotFut foundation.
a) 'Big-Brother' Program:
The idea is for established individuals to become mentors or literally "Big Brothers" to a small group of underprivileged children.
b) The Special Needs Program:
Bringing Doctors, Coaches, and Parents/ Mentors to deliver specialized clinical coaching to children with learning disabilities..
c) Local NGO Support:
Tie-ups with NGO's to take care of these kids outside of the field
The versatile nature of using sports as a means for upliftment throws in the opportunity for various funding organizations, sports development organizations, CSRs, and Sports Academies, from inland and abroad, to work hand-in-hand with HotFut Foundation.
Such strategic tie-ups would allow for Knowlegde transfer, Exchange Programs, Scholarship Opportunities, and Vocational Courses for these children.
