We believe that unless members of the civil society are involved proactively in the process of development, sustainable change will not happen. Believing in this principle of ‘Civic Driven Change’ Turnstone Global sensitize the civil society in order to make them partners in its mission.
Presently, the Organisation not only works in different districts of West Bengal, but also in the states of Dehi & NCR, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Odissa,Tripura, Mizoram, Assam and Meghalaya.
Turnstone Global was established in the 20th November 1990.
To make a world free from poverty and injustice where every human being irrespective of their age, sex, cast, creed, religion, birth place, disability enjoys the right to life with dignity and to empower the marginalized section of the society by enhancing their knowledge, skills, capacities, access to opportunities, services and their participation in life’s decision.
Facilitating the holistic empowerment and development of the disadvantaged section of our society and help them to achieve their highest potential and prepare them to face challenges in life with high confidence.
The realization of a group of young corporate professionals, that it was their Social Responsibility to give back to the society, laid the inception of Turnstone Global. Turnstone Global is managed by a Board of Advisors, comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds and expertise, followed by an Executive Committee and a well defined professional workforce.
Turnstone Global has been working in the thematic areas of education, healthcare, child protection, sanitation and empowerment of women and girls, spots, awareness and legal advise.
Turnstone Global works under two models, namely Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) and Outreach.
Around 70-80% funding support of the organization comes from corporates ; the rest comes from PSUs, individual donors and private institutions.
