Thank you and Merry Christmas
2021 has been a year on which we look back with great thanksgiving and we thank God for the generosity of our supporters and the commitment of our partners in South India.
Here are some highlights from the past year:
Sustainability: We’ve increased the sustainability of our projects with the purchase of another paddy field, which together with the existing paddy will produce the vast majority of food needed for our projects.
Our Covid response: thanks to your support this has been amazing : approximately 18,000 individuals have been blessed with Hope Gardens food parcels, hygiene equipment and PPE since March.
Healthcare: Our Medical teams have worked alongside government officials and police in support of the national vaccination rollout.
Education: We have focused on educational continuity - school fees have been paid, online learning enabled and additional tutoring given as well as our after school programmes expanded.
Every blessing for 2022
The Hope Gardens team
Teamwork!
A real team effort this week with all the team (and their families!) coming together to help fill the #hopegardensindia trucks full of groceries, rice and vegetables to go out into the Theni area to distribute and support communities.
Emergency Appeal
Hope Gardens has launched an emergency appeal as India battles with this second wave of the virus.
Our appeal will support the vital work that the pastors are doing in the communities bringing relief parcels and also to ensure that our medical centre can continue to provide its essential service

Smashing Sterotypes!
8th March is an important day #iwd2021.
It’s a day where globally we celebrate women's achievements & seek to make this world we live in inclusive. At #hopegardensindia we pledge to continue to smash stereotypes, offer opportunities for all & importantly enable girls to be educated to a level where doors are opened and not shut for them. We believe in leading by example and what fantastic women we have in our communities to do just that. Look no further than Saguntha.
We did it!
You are amazing! in one week we smashed our target and raised £10,710 to support our medical centre and our after school clubs
As a result of the pandemic we need to extend our opening hours of our medical centre and subsidise the increased amount of patients. This boost of £5,355 will enable our medical centre to meet this increase in demand and give access to healthcare to those most in need.
Our afterschool clubs are shifting to bring educational support to those children who have huge gaps in their education due to the disruption to their schooling since March. Many children are in need of specialist learning support which Hope Gardens can now provide thanks to your generosity.
