Hope Abides is a faith-based organization that provides help and hope to orphaned and destitute children in the Indian sub-continent. Just as poverty, hunger and illiteracy are not limited by gender or religion, we help children regardless of their gender or religious background and seek participation from all regardless of nationality or faith. We wish to break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty by providing for the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of children. By breaking this cycle, we believe that children can become independent, responsible members of society.
