The Franciscan Family Apostolate (FFA) is a charitable organization that aims to alleviate poverty and provide support to needy individuals and families in both the Third World and the United States. Founded in 1987, FFA is an independent 501(c)(3) charity that focuses on outreach programs, financial assistance, and educational initiatives. With a mission inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, FFA seeks to care for the poor and oppressed, regardless of their race, color, religion, or country of origin.
FFA operates in two main locations: Alleppey, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh, India. In Alleppey, FFA offers various programs to address the destitute conditions faced by the poor, including housing and sanitary facilities. In Andhra Pradesh, FFA partners with the Canossian Sisters to serve the impoverished living in remote tribal villages. Through their Family Sponsorship Program, FFA provides resources and support to families, enabling them to improve their lives and work towards financial independence. By sponsoring a family, individuals can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.
