Homes of the Indian Nation

Donation protected
Homes of the Indian Nation (HOINA), founded by Darlene Large, has been helping destitute, handicapped, abused, and orphaned children in South India for over 30 years, providing shelter, food, clothing, medical care, education, and a caring family environment. HOINA welcomes and serves children from all castes, creeds and religions.

Since 1978, HOINA has cared for and raised thousands of children to love and care for each other. HOINA’s goal is to develop productive, responsible, and caring members of society that can support themselves and make a positive contribution to their community.

HOINA is a registered United States’ not-for profit 501(c) (3) corporation and a registered trust in India. HOINA operates through private donations from individuals, churches, schools, and service organizations. 

Because HOINA is all donation-run, we are always looking for generous donors to help supply the funds we need to keep the children and staff happy and healthy! Our latest obstacle has been the copious damage to our campus from Cyclone Hudhud in October of 2014.

Cyclone Hudhud, which was equal to a Category 4 hurricane, had wind speeds of more than 130 mph
and dropped up to a foot of rain. We lost 291 trees. Many of them were food bearing. Roofs that were not cement slabs had been ripped away: the generator building, where soy milk is made, the water plant above the girls’ home, both garages, part of the guest house roof, and the roof to the corridor of the girls’ toilet wing, both tiki huts—all of these lost their roofs and suffered other damage because of the substantial wind and rainfall. Twenty windows at the boys’ home were shattered along with other windows at the staff house and the guest house. The water tank on the cow shed was ripped open and blown away. The chapel door was shattered. Though definitely a set-back, we are hopeful about what the future continues to hold for HOINA and need all of the support we can get.
