A huge well done for James for absolutely smashing the London Marathon and raising … over £2,000 for our Hope for Children programme and specifically for our Day Care Centre!
Thanks to you James for taking on this crazy challenge because through your generous supporters we can open our Day Care centre - on MONDAY! Amazing!
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.
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

Wow!
Amazing to catch up with our supporters and Vasthi and Gold to hear how our sewing programme is changing women’s lives.
We are so proud of the trainers, the pastors wives and our generous supporters who have made this initiative a success.
93 women have graduated from our sewing institute, 26 machines have been purchased so that young girls, widows and ladies with huge obstacles in their lives can earn their own income, be independent and feel proud of themselves.
Huge thanks to our amazing supporter who has bought new bikes for Godwin, Daniel and Augustine who all live in the Rhema Gardens. They are thrilled. A great way to get to school, play with your friends and have fun, previously they were sharing one bike with Godwin’s sisters.
Godwin loves cycling, like many 7 year old boys, and during lockdown cycled 26 times around the Gardens to raise money for Hope Gardens what a superstar!
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.
