FXB-India Suraksha

We in FXB India Suraksha work for the rights of children affected by poverty and disease, especially those affected or infected by HIV/AIDS. We started operations in India since 1991 and the FXB India Suraksha has now completed three years registered as an Indian not-profit Section 25 company. The word ‘Suraksha’ (meaning ‘security and protection’) emphasizes our commitment to provide a security net to all children and for those specially affected and infected by disease and Poverty.

FXB carries the name of François-Xavier Bagnoud, a helicopter pilot specialized in rescue operations, who dedicated his life to providing assistance to others. He lost his life at age 24 during a helicopter-borne mission in Mali. In 1989, his mother Albina du Boisrouvray, his family, and their friends founded FXB to pursue, in the field of development, the values of generosity and compassion that guided his life.

Our vision is to facilitate the eradication of poverty for vulnerable and marginalized children and their families through creation of an enabling physical and economic environment to lead their lives with self esteem, dignity and economic self sufficiency.
