History of Project of Hope:

In 2011, Aswani formalized the project by registering it as a Community-Based Organization (CBO). With the help of well-wishers, the organization was able to expand and provide better living conditions for the children, including food, shelter, and education.

In 2018, a generous group of supporters, led by the Sejpal Family, began working on a plan to move the children to a more suitable location outside the slum, providing a better environment for growth. While the COVID-19 pandemic delayed this progress, there were still significant strides made thanks to new partnerships and volunteers.

In 2023, volunteers from the United States, in collaboration with the Luena Foundation, contributed to much-needed upgrades for the center, including the construction of walls, beds, and a sponsorship program for school fees. Additionally, the Nature-Based Learning initiative helped build an outdoor classroom, allowing children to learn in a space filled with sunlight, fresh air, and greenery—an environment that fosters both physical and emotional growth.

Today, Project of Hope continues to house 90 children and provides support to over 200 orphans and street children. The children are not just given shelter and food; they are given the love, education, and skills needed to build a better future. Aswani gives all these children a place to feel and be loved as a family.
