Our story

Change begins when communities are heard.

Hope Foundation is a small education nonprofit in Mumbai. We listen to families and teachers first, then build the tutoring, the computer lab and the school kits that follow — and publish what each one achieved against what it set out to do.

Our origin

A journey rooted in people, possibility and partnership.

In the story this demo tells, Hope Foundation began with an evening tutoring group in one Mumbai neighbourhood: a handful of volunteers, a borrowed room and a register of girls who were slipping out of school between grades six and ten.

Nothing about that has changed except the scale. Families tell us what is keeping a child out of the classroom — fees, materials, distance, or the hours a girl is expected to work at home. We build the programme around the answer, run it with people who live there, and hold it to a target we publish.

Today that is three programmes across two Mumbai communities, each with its own fund, its own cost per learner and its own outcome indicators.

How we work

Demo history

These five dates are illustrative, written to give the demo a past. Every figure elsewhere on this page is real data from the demo org’s records.

  1. 2020

    The beginning

    A small group of volunteers starts an evening tutoring circle for girls in one neighbourhood, working out of whatever room is free.

  2. 2021

    First tutoring centre

    The circle gets a room of its own and a weekly timetable at the Andheri Community Centre, and the Girls’ Education Programme is written down.

  3. 2023

    Digital literacy lab

    A donated set of computers becomes the community lab at the Dharavi Learning Hub, and a second programme starts alongside the tutoring.

  4. 2025

    Scholarships and school kits

    Fees, uniforms and kits are added, so the bill for a school year stops deciding which children walk back through the gate in June.

  5. Today

    Three programmes

    3 programmes running in 2 Mumbai communities, with 7 outcome indicators reported every quarter.

Why we exist

A fairer, brighter future for every community.

Across India, children are kept out of a classroom by things that have nothing to do with ability: the cost of a uniform, a lab with no working machines, a bus fare, or an afternoon of housework that never leaves room for homework. We exist to take those barriers away one community at a time.

Our approach

Opportunity

Every child should reach the same starting line: a seat in class, the materials to use it and someone to ask when the work gets hard.

Dignity

Support is offered without a queue, a label or a photograph. Families choose what they take, and nobody has to perform hardship to receive it.

Agency

Communities lead their own change. Timetables, subjects and venues are set by local coordinators, not decided in an office across the city.

How we work

A people-first approach to lasting change.

We work with communities, not just for them — listening, building together, delivering locally and then checking, out loud, whether it worked.

See what we measure
  1. 01

    Listen first

    We sit with families, teachers and local partners to find out what is actually keeping a child out of the classroom, before anything is designed.

  2. 02

    Build with communities

    Each programme is co-created with the people who will run it, and with the schools and centres that will host it week after week.

  3. 03

    Deliver locally

    Sessions run in the neighbourhood, staffed by tutors and coaches who live nearby and are paid for their time, with volunteers alongside them.

  4. 04

    Measure and learn

    Every programme carries indicators with a target and a reporting date. We publish what we hit and what we missed, and change the work when the numbers say so.

People behind the work

A team driven by purpose.

Six people run the foundation day to day, between the two centres and the office. The roles match the records this demo org actually keeps — programmes, funds, outcomes, volunteers.

What we believe

Our guiding principles.

Five rules we hold the work to. They are the reason a target that was missed still appears on this website.

  • Community-led

    Real change happens when communities lead the way. Local coordinators decide how a programme runs.

  • Evidence-informed

    Every programme carries indicators with a target. We use the data, and the gaps in it, to guide the work.

  • Transparent

    Funds, spending and outcomes are published as they are — including the quarters that fell short.

  • Inclusive

    We work with children and families of all backgrounds and abilities, and design sessions so nobody is left at the door.

  • Sustainable

    We would rather run two places properly, year after year, than put pins in ten and leave after one term.

Transparency & accountability

Committed to doing better.

Reports, financials, programme outcomes and the policies that protect the children we work with — open, and published in full.
