In early 2006, Paul and Tracy Wilkes of Wilmington NC happened to visit Home of Hope.  They felt a calling to help this poor orphanage fulfill its mission, shaping integrally formed, self-reliant women who will live up to their God-given dignity, becoming agents of social change in the New India. 

    So that others might help in this work, this website, www.homeofhopeindia.org, was created and efforts were launched to raise money for Home of Hope needs and projects and to encourage individuals and mission groups to both visit and live at Home of Hope, while helping in its programs.  

    Our vision is provide for the health, development, and education of the Home of Hope girls and to assist the Auxilium School and Centre, which houses the orphanage, to provide excellent educational facilities for the poor children of the neighborhood and micro loans for emerging businesses.

Paul Wilkes serves as the Executive Director of Home of Hope India – U.S., a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charity, which has an eighteen member board of directors.

All donations to Home of Hope are fully tax-deductible and go 100% to fund Home of Hope projects.  Ours is an entirely volunteer effort -- there are no salaried employees.
