Since 2003, HOPE have been working with schools across the UK and Ireland through Development Education. Engaging with students is one of the best ways to raise awareness of the work we do with street-connected children in Kolkata. Development Education is driven by the strong belief of ‘students helping students’, whereby learning and understanding the reality of poverty inspires young people to take action for change. We consider all students from primary schools, colleges and universities who are involved with our work to be Ambassadors for HOPE; reaching out to young people far less fortunate and taking real steps to a better, more fair world.
