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

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.

To donate to our appeal please visit: Hope Gardens (reachapp.co)

James Smashed It!

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!

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.

Hope is ....... a new school bus

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

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
