Hope Children's Home
In southern India, around 120 boys and girls from poverty-stricken homes find a new life at Hope Home, near Rajakrishnapuram. These photos offer a window into that life. Additionally, visit the web site dedicated to Hope Home.
Friends of Hope coordinates child sponsorships for Hope Home, and for Happy Home near Kancheepuram. Children in these homes come from destitute situations placing them in great need of love, nurture and support. Both homes are staffed by evangelical Christians offering a Christlike atmosphere. Sponsorship is $30.00 U.S. per month. The sponsor will receive a yearly photo, biographical information, and letters from the child every six months. Sponsorships are usually paid monthly by check or automatic withdrawal. Some sponsors choose to pay quarterly or annually. Sponsorship forms can be obtained by emailing info@hope-4-children.com.
Though our children come from destitute backgrounds, they are beautiful.
