Our after school clubs are open!

The education gap caused by the pandemic is being healed at our after school programmes everyday. Year 9-12 children are benefitting from vital tutoring & 1-2-1 support after school.

State government restrictions are such that schools and our after school clubs are only open for these years 9-12 as there are important exams in years 10 and 12 for the children to prepare for.

Our tutors have stepped up to fill in the gaps in the children’s education, support those who have become disengaged with learning and given specific guidance to those taking 10th and 12th standard national exams.

In KR Thoppur Shanti has also been helping children in Kindergarten as well as they start out on their important learning journey. We are so grateful for our tutors and their flexibility in meeting the needs of their students.

To add some variety to their studies in CumbumMettu (in addition to the daily cricket practice) also on offer are fun sewing lessons.

All this is possible because of your #generosity at Christmas! Thank you!

Hope is .... a new bike!

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!

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.
