Learn more about what HOPE do to tackle the root causes that lead to child labor:

-With our creches set up in areas of high child labour numbers we offer a safe environment for parents to leave their children when they go to work. This avoids bringing their children into their work environment.

-HOPE's Child Watch also works to prevent to the recruitment of child labor. Community Watch Groups formed under HOPE's Child Watch project encourage the parents and people in the community, including shop keepers, to protect the children, raise their voice against child labor and prevent children from being engaged in child labor.

Happy International Day of Family!

15th May is International Day of Families as declared by the United Nations. This day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of the issues relating to socioeconomically disadvantaged families.

At HOPE we motivate parents to promote the rights of children and prioritize their children's education. HOPE also addresses good-health and well-being of the families by providing quality health care services to the street-connected communities, creating awareness on various social entitlements and government schemes and supporting children and their families to obtain such entitlements and schemes.

Today is International Nurses Day and we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the nurses and healthcare workers who work tirelessly within our healthcare programmes in Kolkata.

Improving the health of vulnerable children and families living in the slums of Kolkata is one of HOPEโ€™s priorities, and is key in the fight against poverty. We can not strive to achieve this without our wonderful team.
