Future Hope Nederland

Stichting Future Hope Nederland werft sinds 1993 fondsen voor de dagelijkse onkosten van Future Hope in India.

Future Hope biedt opvang en opleiding aan honderden kwetsbare kinderen die op straat of in de armste sloppenwijken van Kolkata, in India overleven.  Dit zijn kinderen die voortdurend blootgesteld zijn aan alle vormen van geweld, misdaden, ziektes, verslaving en kinderarbeid.

Future Hope is growing - with the team and children of Khelo Rugby becoming part of the family.  

Khelo Rugby is all about being in the community - playing rugby, which we all love - but also supporting children as they grow up with school and college education, or communication classes.

Working with nearly 2,000 children in 32 communities in Kolkata, a few hundred in the Saraswatipur tea gardens in North Bengal, Haripur in Jharkhand and Bangalore, we are excited to get to know more about them and bring our 35 years experience of creating opportunity to the young lives of the super children of Khelo Rugby. 

At this exciting time for us all our CEO Sujata has wasted no time in getting out to meet some of the children and welcome the young leaders to Future Hope. At the Khelo Rugby Sunrise Centre in Saraswatipur Sujata met with many as we hosted 150+ children following a rugby tournament. The children are all from families that work in the local tea garden, remote from the main city of Siliguri, where future opportunities are few. With their own small educational support project and partnerships with good companies we are changing that. There is also the small matter of 11 girls from the village having played rugby for India! 

There is much to be done, but with our joint experience we hope to brighten futures for many more children.

On May 23, the Sweelinck Orchestra, in collaboration with Future Hope, will give a benefit concert in the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. Funds raised will support the work that we do for the vulnerable children of Kolkata.
