Make a Lasting Difference

By sponsoring a child in HOPE’s care, for £20 per month , you can make a lasting difference to the future of a child and their future families.

In our crèches and preparatory centres your sponsorship will provide education, medical care and nutrition to prepare children for formal school. We provide books materials, uniforms and fees to ensure that each child stays in school to progress their learning. HOPE supports each child to complete their education. The children also receive medical care.

Education is the key to making lasting change in the poorest communities. It’s the way to change social attitudes and enable children to grow into adults who are employable and who can go on to provide for themselves and their families. We need your help to do this.

If you decide child sponsorship is right for you, then we will assign a particular child to you. Please inform us if you would like to support a child of a particular age or gender. We will update you on their progress through school and send you reports, letters and artwork from the child.

Thank you! We hope you can consider changing a child’s life today.

“After visiting Kolkata for the first time the thing that struck me the most was seeing the poverty and the hardship – adults and children living in the street and in the slums. It was at this point that I realised I wanted to do something to help. I spotted some volunteers from The Hope Foundation in their HOPE t-shirts at Kolkata airport. I spoke to some of them about their experience with HOPE and the work that they do. After hearing some of the stories I decided that I wanted to also do something to help with this organisation. Upon my return to the UK I made contact and have now sponsored a child. This is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. It makes it all so worthwhile knowing that you are giving a child the opportunity to have a good education and giving them a way to work themselves out of poverty. Over one year later I travelled back to Kolkata and met the child that I sponsor. It was absolutely amazing to see the child of whose life I am able to change just by sponsoring him. It was such a positive experience to see the excellent work that HOPE do. I would say that child sponsorship is one of the most rewarding and satisfying things that you can do. To see the difference you can make simply by sponsoring a child so that they can receive things that we take for granted is such a good feeling and I would highly recommend doing so.” – Wayne, HOPE UK Child Sponsor
