Send a Child to school in India for a Year

Roja is a smart, funny, diligent girl. She is quick to laugh - covering her mouth shyly as she barrel laughs while telling a story. The journey to us was a difficult one shaped by what HIV/AIDS can do to a family with no access to healthcare. More than 12 years ago, Roja's father died of AIDS. Shortly after that her mother passed away leaving her and her brother Mahesh to fend for themselves. This is where Hope Now stepped in and we started a family - a family of HIV-positive orphans who made a family from strangers.

Hope Now firmly believes that education is the single most effective tool we can use to build a life of security for every one of our kids. Education changes everything for a child. Education opens doors, provides a stable adult life and creates community.

Roja was our first to go to college and she will be our first college graduate. She is in her final year at KIMS Medical College working toward a bachelor degree in physical therapy. Her wish is to go on to graduate school. Hope Now pays 100% of all college costs for our kids including tuition, housing, transportation and school supplies.

Together with our partners and YOU we can provide the opportunity every child deserves to be educated. With that solid foundation our kids will transition into adulthood with the tools they need to be successful and become a contributing member of their community and country.

Join Hope Now in supporting a group of amazing kids who want what all kids want - a future.
