Despite the downturn in the world economy, The Hope Foundation was again in a fortunate position to meet all our commitments as a donor, which has enabled us to sustain our work, supporting our beneficiaries in our many projects.

The Hope Foundation launched its UK Branch last October. This new office has already held a number of fundraising initiatives in the UK to expand the charity's reach and bring its message to a wider audience. Visits to the projects have been made by ambassadors Andrea Catherwood and Christopher Biggins and also by many members of the Board.

The Hope Foundation is a registered Irish charity set up in 1999 to help restore basic human rights of the underprivileged section of society.

In India millions of people go hungry every day. Children are sick. Families are struggling to survive. And entire communities lack access to vital services like safe water, primary education and healthcare.
