The Toronto-Calcutta Foundation (TCF) was established in 1988 by Uttam/Lina Chakrabarti, Ted Culp, other Canadians to assist impoverished citizens of Calcutta and its surrounding areas. Over the years TCF has delivered an array of services to poeple in Calcutta, West Bengal. Services among them are pre-school and adult education, primary health care, education on HIV,AIDS and STDs, Hygiene awareness, Satellite clinics in villages. Recently TCF has opened a training centre for young women which is very close to TCF's main clinic Naktala, Calcutta.

In addition to the above in the past two years TCF has held many eye camps, thalasemia camps and blood donor clinic in different villages. Eye camps are very popular among villagers also with donors in North America as these camps are named after the donor. TCF is now trying to establish a signature village where all different services will be provided and the villagers will manage their own affairs on an ongoing basis.

TCF has also worked closely with other NGOs such RESULTS CANADA and Gems of Hope. With CIDA funding TCF worked extensively with sex workers at Garia near Calcutta.
