HOPE promotes the protection of children living on the streets and in the slums of Kolkata, amongst the most underprivileged in India.
HOPE is dedicated to immediate and lasting change in their lives.
By extending support to children and their communities via 60 on the ground projects, HOPE provides sustainable holistic solutions to protection and development. By providing healthcare, counselling and education, HOPE ensures children in its care enter adulthood equipped with the tools and support they need to live healthy and happy lives.
Our focus in the UK is to create greater awareness and to raise funds for our projects in Kolkata.
