URGENT APPEAL

Today, we face an immediate financial crisis. Academy of Hope urgently requires £10,000 to cover annual operational costs (from Jan - Dec 2024). These funds are crucial to ensure that 12 children under our care continue to receive the shelter, essential utilities, nutritious meals, warm clothing, comfortable bedding and the dedicated live-in caregivers they need. Additionally, these funds will support after-school tutoring and essential support for these children.

BACKGROUND

In 2016, during his studies in India, Caleb Jude Packham, a dedicated yoga teacher, encountered a close-knit community of families struggling to make ends meet in the midst of slum dwellings. Their unwavering spirit and resilience in the face of adversity deeply moved Caleb, inspiring him to embark on a heartfelt mission: to provide these children with the gift of education, breaking the chains of poverty that bound them.

In 2017, Caleb initiated a heartfelt fundraising endeavour, known as the Academy of Hope, which saw twelve children enrolled in the Sanskar International School, in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. This endeavor wouldn't be possible without the consistent support of an annual fundraising campaign dedicated to ensuring the children's continued access to education.

In 2021, the Academy of Hope Foster Home was established—a sanctuary that offers not only a safe haven but also nourishment and compassionate guardians to guide these children through their formative years. However, the impact of the pandemic has left many of these children without parents, who, driven by economic hardships, had to relocate to other regions in search of employment, leaving their cherished offspring behind.

Your invaluable contribution will provide:

Quality education
Shelter
Nutritious meals
Warm clothing
Comfortable bedding
Medical and Well-being
Emergency supplies
Dedicated live-in caregivers (both female and male)
After-school tutoring and support

Every pound you donate will directly benefit the children of Academy of Hope. We take pride in highlighting that our devoted team in the UK operates entirely on a voluntary basis, ensuring that your entire donation is channeled towards the cause.
