Taking the Gospel of God's Love to the nations

This social service organization was founded in 1996 by Dr Pauline Prabhakaran driven by her genuine desire to serve individuals & communities, and supporting them with the means and tools to access various resources. During her enduring service for the past 25 years, she was approached by individuals and communities, especially women requesting a safe home for girl children without both parents or with single parents who are striving to overcome difficult environments where they will be loved, nurtured, supported, educated and above all, feel protected.

After witnessing children going through such crises and lacking support, we decided to open the doors to our home. All are welcome here. All find security here. We are committed to providing resources and support for children to overcome unfavourable environments and achieve their dreams.

Our hope for the future is that families and communities will evolve, learn and get the right support to take care of their children so that there wouldn’t be a need for such a safe place. Until that future, we are devoted to being a home that bridges this transition, and provide holistic care and strategies to serve our children and make their dreams come true. It is our duty, our purpose and privilege to represent them, collaborate with you, and work towards a better future.

The traditional models of children’s homes

and orphanages of the past are changing. Our

hope for the future is that, families and communities

will be empowered and supported to

care for their children in such a way that there

will no longer be a need for homes like these.

In the meantime, we would like to be a home

that bridges this transition from the past into

the future. We are committed to being a family

home that models holistic care and strategies that serve our children. It is our duty and a

privilege to represent them, collaborate with you, and work towards the future.

Driven by passion, optimism, and determination, we are a collective group of people committed towards building equity without stigma for our children.

We are women, living in both India and the diaspora, and friends of Hope House who believe that together we can create awareness, educate and reform the misrepresentation of our children and community. 

Unified and driven by our belief in India’s strengths, the first step towards our vision is to promote the representation of India’s children by their aspirations and contributions instead of defining them by the challenges they face which stigmatizes them.
