PHASE III

Orphanage for Tsunami Orphans &
Home for Widowed/Impoverished Ladies

ORPHANAGE INAUGURATION
 

Project Hope has constructed an orphanage in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, for children orphaned by the tsunami, and for many girls who were orphaned before the tsunami.  The orphanage includes approximately 450 children (more than 350 of whom are girls) and includes:

• A school

• Primary medical facilities/clinic

• A computer center

• A science center & laboratory

• Vocational training facilities

• Dormitory facilities for the tsunami orphans

• Huge Dining Hall and Kitchen facilities

This work has been made possible through the generosity of the Drs. Kiran and Pallavi Patel Foundation for Global Understanding, and Smt. Bellaben and Shri Yogeshbhai Patel of Tampa, Florida.

CENTER FOR DESTITUTE WOMEN

Project Hope adopted a women's center on the same land as the orphanage.  The 200 widowed, abandoned, and impoverished woman were eating, sleeping, living, and studying in this one hall.  In addition to providing renovations and repairs, we have built:

• A full dining hall and kitchen facilities

• A computer center

• A vocational center

• Additional facilities in the social service center

We have also given the women much needed clothing, supplies, and other essentials!

The orphanage and the Women's Center are located on the same land, only a few meters apart.  The women and children are sharing in this time of new beginnings and enhancing each other's lives.
