Lighthouse Communities Foundation

Lighthouse Communities Foundation (LCF) is a Section 8 Non-profit company headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra. It was founded in 2011 with the thought of creating a platform that would enable Public-Private Partnerships in the social development space. The priority objective of LCF is to change the life trajectories of disadvantaged youth (18- 35) from low-income communities to set them on the path of sustainable livelihoods. Building "agency" or "strength" in youth equips them with the self-confidence to address the diverse challenges they will face, overcome obstacles and "begin again." While building agency unlocks aspiration and builds self-worth, youth need support from the local ecosystem to achieve their dreams. The convergence of agency, skilling and placement across the local ecosystem catalyses a strategic, collaborative approach, leading to positive outcomes for disadvantaged youth.
