Hope's vision — restoring childhoods to children and sustainability to individuals and communities.
About Hope
The Hope Foundation is a registered charity supporting street-connected and slum-dwelling children in Kolkata, India. Their mission is to empower children to break the cycle of poverty and child labour, giving them access to safety, education, and a brighter future. Hope currently funds and operates 30 life-changing projects.
Hope's Mission
To improve the quality of life for the most marginalised street and slum connected children and communities, primarily in India. To give them back their childhood and protect their dignity of life, through protection, health, education and economic development in a sustainable life-cycle approach.
Hope's Aim
To support the development of underrepresented sections of society through partnership, support and capacity building programmes. Hope provides education and skills programmes to give street and slum children in Kolkata the support needed to create better futures.
Hope and Education
Education is at the heart of The Hope Foundation's mission. They believe every child has the right to an education — it is the key to building independence, escaping poverty, and creating a brighter future.
With initiatives ranging from crèches and Nabo Asha Centres to special needs programmes, Brian's Way Resource Centre, and Education on Wheels, Hope makes learning accessible to children who might otherwise be denied this right. The TEFL Institute of Ireland is proud to support these efforts — together we aim to give every child the chance to learn, grow, and build a brighter future.
