THE HOPE HOME CALCUTTA
The HOPE HOME CALCUTTA (HHC) is a transformational movement which began in 2003. It provides full-time care for children from vulnerable environments, including children from dysfunctional families, from the slums, and those who are victims of physical, sexual, psychological and/or economic exploitation. We aim to transform people in order to transform our society and nation into a community where the Scriptural values of worship, love, peace, and justice are lived out.
Our four-fold objective is: 1) To provide each child with a clean and safe environment of love and acceptance inspired by the love of Christ. 2) To enable personality development of each child through Christ-centered moral and ethical teaching. 3) To provide basic necessities of life like food, clothing, and medical care. 4) To equip children with functional skills which will enable them to earn a living and to engage in nation-building activities.
In the past 17 years nearly 200 boys and girls have grown up at HHC and many are now well-established in their careers. Many more have acquired skills in music, dance, and public performance through HHC training.
The HOPE EDUCATION CENTRE equips, educates, and empowers the children of HHC and children from the community through values-based education from pre-school to 8th grade. Most of these students come from economically and socially disadvantaged, marginalized families and might never have any education whatsoever, much less our values-based education in English. The HHC also provides relief and supplies to victims of natural disasters. We manage the HHC Food Bank, demonstrating the love of Christ by supplying monthly groceries to extremely poor individuals and families.
