Our children, the future of the Nation
Across the world, some things never change. Such as the inherent nature of children.
Children are innocent, vulnerable, dependent, curious, active and full of hope.
What does change is the circumstances they are faced with and the situations they
live in.
This is exactly what makes children on the street different from others around them.
They are fcaed with the demons of physical danger, poverty, hunger, homelessness,
epidemics and illiteracy. These children are often found as orphans, engaged in
hazardous work and petty crimes or end up as victims of prostitution and sexual
abuse.
The Hope Kolkata Foundation (HKF) was established in February 1999
for the protection and development of children on the street and in difficult circumstances.
We work for the holistic development of street children, providing shelter, nutritional
diets, education, medical care, health care benefits, counseling, recreation, integration
into family life, support and love. We do this by partnering with voluntary organizations
working for children. We provide expertise, voluntary service, guidance, training
to the staff on administration and management, and monitor and evaluate the programs.
OUR MISSION

for the underprivileged and vulnerable population with special
