Hope Centers 2019 Campaign

Hope Centers are after-school centers where severely impoverished children from rural Indian communities are provided with Phonemic Intelligence
, a nutritious mini-meal, yoga, personal transformation lessons, love and support for a Hope filled future and a new positive identity. It is not just the children who transform; they bring their knowledge to the village and transform the community. We currently work in and fund 71 Hope Centerss across nine states in India.

We launched our 2019 Campaign to bring Hope, education, personal transformation, love and a better future to 1000 children and their communities in 7 states in India.

You can help. Join us on our mission and help us raise $126,000 to bring heaven on earth.

Problem

Children who grow up in severely impoverished rural communities of India have little chance of happiness. They lack the basic necessities and support to maintain their health and their education. Hopeless, they often follow in the footsteps of family members who lead lives of hard labor, begging or fall victim to an early death.

Solution

Hope Centers provide the poorest children of rural Indian communities a safe-haven for development. Each after-school center hosts an innovative curriculum as well as basic necessities including nutrition, love and support. Many of our students have gone on to college with a real opportunity to leave their poverty roots behind and bring back positive and sustainable change back to their communities.
