International Day of the Girl
Today is international day of the girl. These girls are changemakers. All the girls in this photo have overcome barriers that living in a marginalised community brings. They are resourceful, have tenacity are resilient and they are an inspiration to us all. All these girls are part of #hopegardensindia and thanks to our supporters they are all in education, they all have a voice and we are hearing them loud and clear.
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

Our Christmas Appeal is live!
Today we are delighted to launch our Match Funded Christmas Appeal. Yes Match Funded, so for every £1 you give it will be matched up to £5,000!
Today is Giving Tuesday a global event where we can all come together and give back to something close to our hearts. One thing very close to our hearts are our after school clubs where we let children learn, have fun and share a meal while their parents are at work.
