Stories of Hope
Shilpa's Inspiration!
Shilpa, the Learning Center Coordinator in Goa, shares her experience with the children: After getting to know the children, I can see how hard life is for them. These children come from very poor, mostly single parent families that live in isolated and neglected rural areas. Yet, no matter how much they have been through, these kids survive. They are joyful and excited about new experiences. They are my inspiration!
An Extension of HoPE
The Mahalakshmi Nagar Learning Center held a Social Activity Day in which the children visited a home for the elderly in their community.
The children brought biscuits and shared tea with the residents of the home. Then they worked outside and cleaned in the garden.
This was a positive learning experience for the children and a great connection for the community.
Hope is bringing people together in service!

Featured Program
HoPE Learning Centers
The success and enthusiasm for the first 10 HoPE Learning Centers we opened in 2011 has propelled us forward with a new goal to open 100 HoPE Learning Centers in communities across India this year.
As we open new centers, we open the doors to a new destiny for children from extremely impoverished families. Education is the key to unlocking the unique potential of each individual we serve.
Our HoPE Learning Centers are focused on providing educational tutoring and skills development for underprivileged children. We serve 30-35 children at each center. The children, ages 12-14, are enrolled in grades 5-8. Read More
