- Creating awareness of the difficulties and injustices faced by so many in Kolkata and the work that we do here at HOPE. This means voicing concerns and sharing solutions with local government, local and international societies, and working within the communities facing these challenges to empower individuals and effect lasting change.
- Helping to develop local organisations and people who work with the needy in Kolkata. Empowering them to build long term sustainable solutions, increasing expertise and efficiency.

The Hope Foundation realise that focusing purely on practical programmes and solutions, without looking closely at the organisations that manage them, is short sighted and superficial.
Building the capacities of individuals, organisations and institutions is vital for the strengthening of civil society and grassroots development. By increasing the capacity of organisations involved in development, interventions can be made more effective and their results longer lasting.
In response to this need, The Hope Foundation regularly organises capacity building programmes for institutions and individuals. These provide training and the tools needed to effectively assess their own information needs, set their own priorities and build their own information systems. This programme has been developed in conjunction with the Jayaprakash Institute of Social Change (JPISC), a respected college in Kolkata.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”40895″ img_size=”600×260″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1470674949627{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][dt_fancy_title title=”Outcomes” title_align=”left” title_size=”h4″ title_color=”accent”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]
