Children are admitted to this home by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of the Vellore district of the state of Tamilnadu.Ultimate aim of this home under the act is to rehabilitate and reintegrate these vulnerable children into the society. Children do not pay for any of the services that they receive at the Hope House but we operate with the generosity extended by people like YOU.Hope House operates the children's home on a rights-based approach where we recognize and respect every right of every child. While at the Hope House, children receive food, accommodation, clothes, recreation, healthcare and education etc. Many of our children have been successfully rehabilitated and are standing on their own feet now with a gainful employment.

As per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB), in 2014, Vellore district in Tamil Nadu, India, has the highest number of cases of child sexual abuse. The least of the numbers seem to indicate that at least 40% of Indian children are sexually abused, mostly by their own family members. The conservative culture of India prevents many from speaking and discussing about sex and reproductive health openly (including schools). Hence, many children grow up ignorant to the signs of sexual abuse.Physical injuries of victims of child sexual abuse may heal over a period of time, but the psychological scars will remain for life. 
 We work with the Ministry of Women and Child Development of Government of India as a partner for implementing child-line project in Vellore District. One of the ways we have is to visit schools and educate the adolescents on sex and reproductive health. We make an audio-visual presentation and then distribute a colourful comic book called 'Menstrupedia' which beautifully illustrates menstrual hygiene in the most child-friendly manner that anyone can imagine. 
 We intend to distribute 10,000 books in our district to make a net impact one one lakh girls, but we need more funds for that.We believe that this empowerment has many dividends. The educated adolescent knows how to take care of herself, to become tomorrows healthy adult who would pass on that information to her own children in the future. Hence, the impact that we intend to create wouldn't just touch one life, but an entire generation.

Since all our children are babies but with special needs, our requiremet to visit the hospital is more frequent than normal babies. Currently, we are using a commercial three wheel auto rickshaws which is working out to be quite exhorbitantly expensive and unsafe. We need a vehicle but after an extensive deliberations, we thought we'll get an electric vehicle.We want to get an electric vehicle (Tata Nexon EV Prime). The reasoning behind this vehicle's choice is this:<ol><li>We want a multipurpose vehilce that can be used to take children to the hospital and also take the older children to school</li><li>We want to receive state extended incentives to reduce the cost of the vehilce</li><li>Reduce the overall fuel cost to maintain this vehilce</li><li>Reduce the overall maintanance cost (as it has less number of moving parts as in combustible vehicles)</li></ol>We planned to request all our staff to learn to drive a four wheeler and not have a driver and this will save us literally Rs. 20,000 per month on the cost of the fuel and the cost of recruiting a driver. Also, we have a solar power plant with which we intend to charge our car so that our electricity costs can be kept at bare minimum.

Please help us get an electric vehicle to take adoptable chidlren to the hospital

Hope House is the only adoption agency in India that is recognised by the Government of Tamil Nadu to cater exclusively to the adoption of eligible children with special needs.Hope House provides care for up to 14 children, most of whom are very young, including a recent addition at just 12 days old. We rely on continuous support to cover essential expenses for these young ones, such as nutritious food (Lactogen 1) and disposable diapers, costing Rs. 6450 per child each month. Your regular support is crucial to ensuring that these children receive the best care possible.Please consider pledging a monthly donation to help us continue our mission.Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).How Hope House came into beingHope House's aspiration to start a home for special children finds its roots in the profound inspiration drawn from the personal journey of our director, Mr. Ruby Nakka. His motivation was ignited by the adoption of his two daughters, a transformative experience that he and his wife embraced while living in the United States.Fueled by this newfound purpose, both Mr. Nakka and his wife made the bold decision to resign from their positions in the healthcare industry in the US, choosing to relocate to India. Their mission is to passionately advocate and spread the message of adoption, embodying the belief that every child deserves a loving and nurturing home.While we are striving to do our best, we need our donors' support on a regular basis. Consider the case of children's various medical necessities, with an estimated monthly cost of Rs. 10,000, summing up to Rs. 120,000 annually.We urge you to come forward and pledge monthly donations.

Rohit Nair

Impact When Priya was subjected to eve teasing, local police had to intervene to handle the situation. Out of her own distress, when she began talking to her school friends, she found out that she was not the only one who had to undergo such horror everyday. Many of her friends had faced similar situations but they refused to talk about them. It was then when this 11th grader decided to raise her voice against this menace. She decided to do her bit to change the way girls deal with such situations. With the help of a Hope House volunteer, she started searching about reproductive health. To spread awareness, her next step was to conduct workshops for her classmates. On Children's Day, with the permission of the school authorities, she made a presentation on prevention of sexual abuse to educate 400 of her schoolmates and female teachers. A week later, along with her four friends, she also presented at a local church. Proud to see one of their resident students empowering girls of her own age, Priya was given the name - 'Malala of the Hope House'. To survive, the children not only need to excel in academics but need life skills and confidence to make their way in this world. Donate to help Hope House train the children from the disadvantaged sections of the society to become self reliant. You can donate for the well being of children with confidence because every program on our platform is GIVEASSURED. About The Program The Hope House runs an integrated home where they take care of children of all needs including children with different needs. Many of their children are orphans and are referred to them by the state of Tamil Nadu. Catering to children of 2-18 years, they make sure that these children attend school to learn and grow. Children are also often admitted through someone's referral. People who come across a child in need and are aware of the Hope House services, requests for the child admission in the House. The House does a need assessment and makes a decision to admit a child or not. Once admission is granted, the child's family (if they have one) is counseled about their roles and responsibilities. Following the right based approach, children are made aware about their survival, development and protection. The aim is to make sure that if need be, the children can protect themselves from being violated by anyone. They also try to follow the standards of childcare (staffing, infrastructure, nutrition and healthcare etc) that are prescribed in Juvenile and Justice Act and often conduct meetings with children or their families.They lay great emphasis on children learning life skills apart from having academic excellence. For the same, children are taken on educational tours and are trained to operate computer, do banking and develop good communication &amp; organizational skills. Children are also mentored to choose the right career path for themselves. About The NGO The Hope House aims to Nurture and empower children to become successful and responsible citizens. Mr Ruby Nakka, the founder, grew up in a children's home in Andhra Pradesh for 12 years and was helped for 15 years in total. It was his childhood desire to help children like the way he was helped. Mr. Ruby Nakka was living in the United States with his family that consisted of two adopted girls. It was his girls who reminded him and his wife about the children in need of help in India. It was they who inspired him and his wife to forgo their well paid jobs in the healthcare industry to start The Hope House. He in turn inspired two of his best friends (Manoah and Thomas) to join him and one among the two (Mr. Thomas) has relocated to India now.

Hope House is the only 'Specialized Adoption Agency' (SAA) in India that is recognized as the agency to cater exclusively to children with special needs. Our objective is twin fold: 1. Extend the medical services that these children need, from a reputed tertiary level hospital and 2. Place them for adoption within the country as much as possible (as mandated by the principle of adoption). SAA's are funded by the Government but not all expenses are covered. We are grateful for as much support as the Government extends, we are determined to raise the remaining from our supporters and well wishers. 
 We want to raise Rs. 7,20,000 to support 10 children for the following expenses:<ol><li>Food: Each lactogen box costs approximately Rs. 360 and each child needs about 10 of them in a month: (Total costs for 10 children for 12 months is - Rs. 3600/ month/ child X 10 children X 12 months = Rs. 4,32,000)</li><li>Pampers: We try to use cloth diapers as much as we can while at the Hope House but we need pampers when we take them to the Hospital. We need 25 boxes small size pampers at Rs. 816 a box. (25 X Rs. 819 = Rs. 20,475)</li><li>Medical Expenses: We work with a local tertiary level medical institution for medical services which extends generously at free of cost but we do have to purchase medicines and other services: (Rs. 2,50,000 for all 10 children for one year)</li></ol> 
 These funds will enable us to care for 10 special needs children (to extend medical and rehabilitation services) and to place them in adoption within India which is not the norm at this moment.

One time donation of Rs. 5000 can help to give a home to a child with special needs, through adoption, can you help?

Human Rights

Our <a href="www.indiahopehouse.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">children's home</a> has 23 children and eight staff. These are children that are classified as those that need "Care and Protection" and they are sent to us by the state Government. It is a continuous challenge to raise adequate funds to support the nutritional needs of the children. We have to maintain the government stipulated standard of care but such a care requires financial support to maintain. We cannot afford to be in an uncertain situation where we jeopardize the lives of the children which we do not want to do. 
 We are starting a project called "Sanjeevani" (meaning 'immortal') for any donor to remember their loved one by making a one donation of Rs. 10,000. We intend to keep that money in the fixed deposit and only use the 75% of the interest to feed the children on the designated day of the donor while the remaining 25% of the interest is reinvested into the corpus. This way our program is continued without any interruption of lowering the standard of care while allowing the corpus to grow. 
 This will program will feed all the children (23 chidlren) and the staff for a day and it also allows us to maintain the high standards of care that is prescribed in the JJ Act.

Education

Most of the children who come to the Hope House are from the low socio-economic backgrounds and their style of learning is very different from those that come affluent backgrounds. They tend to learn more through audio-visual stimulation than through a traditional teach-student approach followed in a classroom. Most of these children also require more of a individualized supervision and monitoring than the traditional classroom setting. 
 We intend to teach their traditional class subjects at the Hope House through extensive use of computers in general and the internet in specific. Apart from this, we also intend to teach them online typing, getting them accostomed to microsoft applications (word, excel and power point etc) and for some chidlrren to practice video making and video/ photo editing to stand on their own feet. 
 We expect the children to learn in a much more robust way than the they would have learned in the school environment. Also, since we intend to teach other skills (such as typing, MS application and video making/ editing), we like to believe that those that can sustain the regular schooling may do well in school but those that find academics is not their cup of tea to be able to stand on their feet to consider and build this skill as vocation to move forward in life.

Donate Rs. 2000 to help 20 children to expand their horizon of imagination & learning through laptops

Every year, we take the Hope House children on an educational tour where the children learn about different things such as travel, geography, local culture &amp; traditions etc. So far, the Hope House children have gone on educational tour to New Delhi, Hyderabad, Trivandrum and Coonoor etc and they have served the purpose a great deal. 
 This year we want to take them to Jaipur - Capital city of Rajasthan, which is very historical and with lot of traditions embedded into their culture. We intended to take the children on an overnight train ride which would be a first experience for many children and intend to give the assignment of reading the history of the state of Rajasthan, identifying their prominent cultures and traditions along with it. 
 We envision that children when they are taken to new places to expose them to places that are different than their own domicile, they are likely to become tolerant and inclusive which in itself a desirable value to nurture in children. Apart from that, children experience learning of a new culture and traditions of a new state in their own country.
