Futuremakers program was previously known as the goal program. Thozhamai has partnered with Women Win an international non-profit organization registered in the Netherlands. Providing awareness to promote worldwide gender equity. Its ultimate goal is to transform adolescent girls and women who live in underserved communities. This program was mainly focused on the development of sports and life skills education for girls.

Since its inception, the program has extensively engaged with various schools, colleges, and communities, reaching out to adolescent girls across Chennai and Chengalpattu districts.
