Hope Abides is a U.S. based organization that provides help and hope to orphaned and destitute children in the Indian sub-continent.  Just as  poverty, hunger and illiteracy are not limited by gender or religion, we will help children regardless of their gender or religious background and seek participation from all regardless of nationality or faith. We work to break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty by providing for the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of these children. By breaking this cycle, we believe that they can become independent, responsible members of society
