Children's Hope India, Inc. was
started in 1992 by a group of
professional women in New York.
It started with a group of women
sitting around a kitchen table
wanting to share their blessings
and good fortune with thousands
of disadvantaged children in
India. What started with $1000
supporting one preschool project
for 25 children has grown into
over 25 projects reaching out to
50 thousand children. Since its
inception, Children's Hope has
raised over $1 million to
support a multitude of projects
across several major cities in
India providing education, food,
shelter, and health services to
thousands of children. In New
York, Children's Hope has given
out 50 percent tuition
scholarships to several South
Asian students from India,
Pakistan and Bangladesh to
assist them in pursuing their
academic and career goals
through college education.
