HOPE foundation is working for the underprivileged and needy children through various programs since 1991. Health & care is one of the signature programs of HOPE that takes care of the abandoned, orphan, destitute and HIV/Aids infected and affected children through 3 Orphanages in Tamil Nadu. Arias Home of HOPE, one of the three orphanages, completed 20 years of its service to the women and children living with HIV/AIDS and those affected because of HIV/AIDS.
This home was started in 2001 in Chennai after the felt need from the community. So far, HOPE has helped more than 500+ women and children. Provided them with good education, helped them to stand on their feet, got them married and also got them rehabilitated to become a member of the general community with respect and dignity.
The children who came at the age of 4 and 5 have grown and settled. Pavan (Name Changed) has become a Mechanical Engineer, Pushpa (Name Changed) completed her Tally, is working as an accountant. She is married and has a 3-year-old son. Reena (name changed) was given training in sewing course. Today she is rehabilitated back to her family and she takes of her old grandma.
This home was converted to all girls home in the year 2015 and since then it takes care of girls providing them safe and secure shelter, food, medicines, education, counselling and all that a child require to live healthy and grow healthy.
This home not only provides a safe abode to the girls but also has a dairy farm and a vegetable garden. The produce of these two farms is utilized in the home for the girls.
