The Hope Foundation works to free slum-connected and street-dwelling children and poor families from lives of pain, abuse and poverty.
HOPE works with Kolkata’s forgotten children, those who have been victims of trafficking, violence, abandonment, prostitution, sexual abuse and severe neglect. Working with such vulnerable children and their wider families and communities, has lifted millions out of poverty, enabling and empowering them to build a brighter future for themselves and for future generations.
HOPE currently runs 58 projects in the following programme areas:
Protection
HOPE runs 10 Residential Childcare Centres, a Child Watch Programme and a Mother and Child Care Unit.
Education
HOPE operates 4 créches, a Naboasha education programme, and a Holistic Education Programme.
Healthcare
We run our own hospital, a Blindness Eradication Programme, a Community Healthcare Programme, an Emergency Response Unit and more.
Life Skills
The HOPE Life Skills Vocational Training Centre provides courses to help individuals provide a safe and sustainable future for themselves and their families.
Emergency Response
