Wheel of Hope Charitable Trust U.K

Wheel of Hope Children’s Village

This is based on our Mission Statement …

To empower children through education to achieve their full potential …through the provision of education appropriate to their abilities and needs and to support their parents financially thus liberating them from the need for their children to contribute to the family income

India is a country that thirsts for education with a justifiable passion and zeal that is commensurate with the high intelligence and potential of her people. She is perhaps the fastest developing nation in the world and is at present one of the world’s greatest economies.

As such it is only fitting that as many children as possible are able to benefit from the wide array of advantages the infrastructure of India already has.

It is not our aim to replace the indigenous education system with some imposed programme but to empower and enable children to achieve the fullness of their potential through the already existing excellent educational facilities.

So many children from the poorest strata of society are unable to achieve very much more than the lowest form of secondary education and some even fail to do this.

The reason is not through their own inabilities but their parent’s lack of financial power to enable them to pursue their studies. They need their child to enter the work stream in order to bring home valuable income for the family.
