Growth 1993 – 2023
Our programs in South India serve vulnerable children such as orphans, trafficking survivors, and child labor victims through foster care, primary & secondary school education support, and college scholarships. Our five Children’s Hope Centers in operation throughout the region where we serve provide after-school care and support to at-risk minority children by means of tutoring and nutritious meals.
We are in the process of constructing a technical college which will generate funds for our India programs through local high school graduates paying to attend, while also providing scholarship seats for our at-risk students who need assistance in obtaining a higher education.
Our India farmland started as a water buffalo dairy farm— that’s why we have a water buffalo in our logo! However, today the farmland focuses on a seasonal lentil harvest, a vegetable garden and small-scale banana grove. This helps to ensure that the children we serve are getting the nutrition they deserve.
