HOPE delivers vital life changing programmes in India, which are delivered by our dedicated team who are working on the ground in Kolkata. We provide protection, education, healthcare and life skills programmes, to equip vulnerable street connected and slum dwelling children and communities with the support they need, to sustain healthy happy lives and provide them with better opportunities for their future.
Our objective in the UK is to raise awareness about and funds for projects that are delivered directly by The Hope Kolkata Foundation. We collaborate with and are supported by The Hope Foundation in Ireland from where the charity was first established. HOPE in the UK, Ireland and Kolkata share the common vision of a world where “it should never hurt to be a child”.
The Hope Foundation for Street Children (HOPE) rescues thousands of children from the streets and slums of Kolkata, India, helping to improve their quality of life and giving them a better future.
