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.
To donate to our appeal please visit: Hope Gardens (reachapp.co)
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.
We are so proud of our school and thrilled that last January it was recognised as the Number One School in the Theni district for its facilities and educational provision by the Theni District Differently Abled Welfare Officer.
One of the USPs of our school is the pick-up and drop off service for all children from their homes by our school bus which enables the children’s parents or carers to work while they are at school.
Great News! We are excited to announce that 100% of our new school bus has now been funded.
Thank you to all our supporters of this essential initiative
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

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!
