Be Kind to yourself and others

In a world where you can be anything be kind to yourself and others. Practical support and kindness sits at the heart of Hope Gardens. On World Mental Health Awareness Day we need to listen to the advice of Nurse Margaret and look after ourselves and others.

Latest news from our Children's programmes

It has been a busy time at Hope Gardens with many children taking their end of year or university exams. Our tutors are busy supporting children with revision at our after school clubs and helping year 12 students as they make plan for their careers.

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
