About Our Society

Brief History

From a buffalo hut to a home of hope

Ambassador Charitable Society began on Sunday, 23 April 1995, in a small buffalo hut in the remote village of Tilaboni. From this modest setting, the organisation initiated its first child care and educational activities for underprivileged children.

Its inspiration came from the experiences of Dr. Subimal Dutta, whose work among remote and underserved communities exposed the difficult realities faced by children living without care, education and guidance. Deeply moved, Mrs. Barnali Dutta took a leading initiative and became deeply committed to child care and education.

What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a dedicated, child-focused organisation. Today it serves vulnerable children through care, education, character formation and holistic development.

Area Profile

The communities we serve

Our work focuses on areas facing severe socio-economic challenges and deep-rooted inequality.

The challenges
  • Widespread poverty among tribal and OBC communities
  • Deep-rooted caste-based discrimination
  • Exploitative money-lending and debt bondage
  • Dependence on forest resources for survival
  • Child labour, early marriage and low literacy
  • Many orphans & semi-orphans lacking care
Our response

ACS works to rebuild community solidarity through:

  • Child protection programmes
  • Women's self-help groups & empowerment
  • Educational support & peace-building activities
  • Legal awareness & counselling
  • Inclusive community development
Support for women and caregivers in tribal communities
Our Motto

Empower women through courage, confidence, education, dignity and self-reliance

Women are the backbone of family survival in many tribal and economically vulnerable communities. They often carry a dual burden — contributing to household income while managing domestic responsibilities, childcare and elder care.

ACS believes every woman deserves equal respect, access to education, freedom from violence, and the opportunity to build a secure and meaningful future for herself and her children. Through self-help groups, vocational training and income-generating opportunities, we stand with women and caregivers.

A message

President's Note

“

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Visitors,

It gives me great joy to welcome you to the website of Tilaboni Ambassador Charitable Society (ACS). Our journey began with a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves love, protection, education, and the opportunity to live with dignity.

Over the years we have witnessed the painful realities faced by many orphaned, semi-orphaned, tribal and vulnerable children — yet also their incredible resilience, courage and potential. Through our Dreaming Centres and Ambassadors Mission School, we strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can heal, learn, grow and dream again.

At ACS we believe transformation happens when compassion is combined with commitment. Every child who enters our care is treated with respect, dignity and love, regardless of caste, tribe, religion, gender or economic background. We remain committed to transparency, accountability and ethical service.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff, teachers, caregivers, volunteers, donors, partners and community members. Together, we can build a future where no child is left behind.
