House of Hope – Kolkatta, India House of Hope in Kolkatta is a place of refuge for kids living on the streets. The team of 8 staff members runs a day care center where the children come each weekday and receive food, education and medical care. They also organize soccer games for older street boys twice a week, and visit the families living on the streets in the evenings to build a closer relationship with them in order to help them to find ways to come out of life on the streets. Just recently they opened a “night shelter” for girls. Physical and sexual abuse are common occurrences for girls living on the streets. The night shelter offers a place of safety for these precious children. House of Hope is now offering tailoring classes for the girls, and they are learning how to make beautiful dresses. House of Hope is in the process of raising funds to buy a permanent facility. They still need $137,000 to in order to purchase the home. Return to Projects
