Who we are
Hope for the Children Foundation, founded in 2007, is a non-profit organization that promotes social change and protection, economic transformation, equal rights and opportunities for all, and has benefited millions of children and their families. Strongly aligned with the “Juvenile Justice Act (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015,” Hope for the Children Foundation is committed to the Government’s vision to improve the lives of children that need care and protection and rehabilitate Children who have been in conflict with the Law. We leverage our 16 years of grassroots experience with a team of experts to design in-house programs that actively focus on Community development, Education, and Child Protection, implementing projects that will ultimately contribute to their personal development as well as the broader development of the community in a Child Friendly approach. Hope for the Children Foundation currently operates successfully in Pune, PCMC and Rural parts of Maharashtra.
Our work and its impact
In 2012, Hope for the Children Foundation launched the Shiksha ki Asha program, an early childhood care and education (ECCE)-based inclusive education program for low-income and academically disadvantaged children.
Through our Child Friendly Centered method, we provide a tailored curriculum for remedial education supported by our 36 eco-friendly learning tools, art & craft stimulating learning method and and personality development. The program also educates children, teachers, and parents on health, nutrition, and child protection.
The Child friendly - Shiksha ki Asha program is being implemented in Anganwadis, Schools and Child Care Institutes in collaboration with:
How we will utilise these books
The funds raised will provide joyful books from Pratham Books in Marathi, Hindi, and English. The books will be given to Anganwadi centers for children to cultivate reading practices. The story books will help the children to cultivate knowledge. It’s especially important for children from age 3 years to 6 years to read as much as possible because the effects of reading are cumulative. However, it’s never too late to begin taking advantage of the many physical and psychological benefits waiting in the pages of a good book. Kids make big leaps in vocabulary during this time, and learn about letters, shapes, colours, weather, animals, and seasons. This can be strengthened through books.
