The HOPE Overseas Volunteer Programme

Have you got the skills and the determination to make a difference on the ground in Calcutta? HOPE welcomes a large number of volunteers and visitors to our projects working with street children every year and we have been delighted with the high level of interest in our work. HOPE runs long-term development projects in the areas of: healthcare, nutrition, shelter, counselling, education and skills training. Our volunteer programme offers placements to a certain number of volunteers every year who can meet the following requirements:

1. A commitment of a minimum period of 3 months (preferably 6 months).
2. A commitment to fundraise for HOPE's projects prior to departure.

All HOPE volunteers receive bed, board and a small living allowance during your time in Calcutta. We will also assist you with your visa application. You are required to take care of your own flights, insurance & travel vaccinations. Read More here

The Hope Foundation Educational Sponsorship programme has been set up to help the street children of Clacutta children achieve their right to education. Our crèches and preparatory centres provide not only education, but medical care and nutrition. After each child has progressed from our centres to formal schools, we provide the educational materials, books, uniforms, fees and after school coaching to ensure our children remain in education.

To successfully provide education for each child, we need your help. To sponsor a Child’s Education, please donate €250 a year or alternatively €21 each month by Banker’s Standing Order (You can download it here).
