Gift of HOPE Week

Monday 9th – Monday 16th October 2022 #GOHOPE

The annual Gift Of HOPE Week takes place every October to raise funds for HOPE’s live saving projects in Kolkata.

HOPE’s programmes have been severely affected by the Covid pandemic and there is a real need to raise funds to ensure vital work can continue. HOPE is calling on our incredible supporters to get actively involved in this year’s Gift Of HOPE Week to help raise vital funds for, and awareness of, HOPE’s work with the most vulnerable street connected children and slum dwelling communities in Kolkata, India.

Fundraise for HOPE

Choose your fundraising activity, set yourself a target to raise for HOPE and invite your friends and colleagues to support your fundraising activity by sharing the donation link: https://hopefoundationusa.com/gift-of-hope-week-donate/

Every dollar you raise will have a direct, positive and lasting impact on the lives of impoverished children and families.

Fundraising Ideas to get you started:

Challenge yourself to organise a fundraiser in solidarity with street children and slum communities in Kolkata. HOPE will be more than happy to help you develop, plan and support your fundraising challenge.  

  • Do a sponsored 24-hr fast.
  • Do a sponsored run, walk, jump, climb or cycle.
  • Give up your night time comfort i.e. sleep anywhere, but your own bed for one night e.g. on the sofa, in the bath, under the stairs or under the stars!
  • Host an Indian inspired tea party or coffee morning.

Every dollar counts …… What your funds will do in Kolkata

$9 will provide a Covid vaccination

$25 will feed a family of five for two weeks (Covid Food Distribution)

$75 will pay for school uniform and shoes

$100 will pay for one month salary for a specialist teacher

$145 will pay for books and admission fees for one child for one year in school

Raise Awareness

We need to spread the word about HOPE’s vital work. Please share this webpage and talk about HOPE to your friends and family, and encourage them to get involved.

HOPE can support and promote your fundraising effort with social media posts, fundraising materials and ideas. Remember to keep in touch by emailing info@hopefoundationusa.com and tag us on social media HOPE #GOHOPE.
