When Divya, Anitha, and Kavya arrived at HOPE Home years ago, they were young girls who had lost almost everything. No father. Mothers who could not care for them. No clear path forward.

This fall, all three begin university.DSC_001

Divya will study nursing. Anitha is pursuing computer science. Kavya has earned a place in a teacher education program. Each received scholarship support arranged through Hillside Hope's network of partners.

About 80 percent of HOPE Home graduates continue to higher education. That number does not happen by accident. It is the result of years of consistent care, high expectations, and a community of sponsors who believed in these children before they believed in themselves.

 

"HOPE Home was my family. Everything I am, I owe to the people who gave and prayed for me." - Divya

 

These three young women are proof that your monthly gift is not charity. It is an investment in a generation.
