Education changes lives. This is the story of Prakash. Prakash had a rough start to life with becoming an orphan at a young age. With no one left to care for him, he was welcomed into our Home of Hope where he was able to attend school. Prakash excelled in learning and, according to his caretakers, was an incredibly joyful child. Without the financial support of his parents, college was a dream that he never thought he would achieve. To his surprise, we were able to support him in completing his bachelor’s degree in his chosen field of commerce.

Prakash had such a passion for business and did so well in school that by the time he finished, he was ready to earn his MBA. Believing that he would go on to do amazing things in his life, we also helped him pay for graduate school. With all of his experience, he managed to get a job as a Business Analyst at an I.T. Firm where he has thrived ever since. Prakash now has a wife and two beautiful sons, and loves to give back by supporting Send Hope Now in India and his local community. The Higher Education Fund helps children pursue their unique callings and keeps them from getting pulled into extreme poverty.

A new group of students is about to enter the 2022-2023 school year in May. Go to http://ow.ly/umFp50Il0uF to support a student like Prakash this year!

Unlike the United States, the school year ranges from June-March in India. Our students are currently finishing the 2021-2022 year and are preparing to start back up again soon. The Higher Education Program supports students who have grown up in our Homes of Hope orphanages in achieving their dreams and pursuing their God-given gifts. Without the support of their families, receiving an education is not possible. In some cases, students will take out loans that they will never be able to repay.

India is home to over 1.3 billion people and the basic requirement for obtaining a good-paying job is to have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree. Even with a degree, it is difficult to stand out as a job candidate and many people are forced to take low-paying, manual labor jobs. The average household income within our communities is less than $100 a month, which is difficult to live on-- even living in the slums of India.

We believe in equipping every teen with the tools they need to succeed in life and beyond our care. By giving to Higher Education, you will help us send each student to high school and the college, trade school, or Bible program of their choosing. This year we have the privilege of helping over 100 students afford their educational expenses. To do this, we need your help in raising $75,000 by the week of May 1st, 2022. Your gift will have a life-changing impact on our incredible students. We thank you for continuing to support and pray for the success of this program.

Over the next few weeks, check out our emails, Facebook, and Instagram pages for real stories and testimonies from our students! To give go to http://ow.ly/yR7350IjZ8c.

Please join us in prayer for God’s healing touch upon senior staff member Brother Peter who has tuberculosis.

It's the best time of year to give to that special cause you are passionate about! Below are three of the most needed gifts this Christmas season.

CHILD HIV FUND
Out of the 548 children currently living in the Homes of Hope orphanages, about 325 of them have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. These children require extra care that others don't, such as antiretroviral therapy (ART) medication, health monitoring, and special diets. While some of these children are sponsored, the cost of their HIV care goes above the cost of the sponsorship. $20 provides medication, food, and covers the cost of employing nurses in the homes to care for each HIV child. Follow the link to give to this cause. http://ow.ly/BXC650HcCNj

NUTRITION KITS
On average, around 2,000 families in the communities surrounding our Homes of Hope can't afford to eat each year. These are often families of people who have lost a spouse, suffer from chronic medical conditions (often HIV/AIDS), or work low-paying daily wage jobs. In addition to providing food, nutrition kits allow us to share the gospel in areas we are not otherwise welcome. $15 supplies a family in need with healthy daily meals and hygiene items that can last up to a month. Follow the link to give to this cause. https://sendhopenow.kindful.com/?campaign=1034536

INDIA GENERAL URGENT NEEDS
Life is full of surprises. Whether it's needs that arise from unsponsored children and pastors, young adults seeking education without family support, or emergencies such as medical crises, broken equipment, or people in critical need-- we hope to cover it all. The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic widened the gap of people needing extra assistance even more over the last year and a half. Any gift to the India General Fund helps the most vulnerable people in and around our Send Hope communities. Follow the link to give to this cause. https://sendhopenow.kindful.com/?campaign=1034529

Prayer from our Home of Hope in Southern India: "Praise the Lord for the spiritual growth of our children, for the new children admitted to our Home, and for providing notebooks for all the students."
