BACKGROUND
In 1984 Eliazar Rose,
whose parents once suffered from leprosy , a Research Trust established
with some of his friends to help the the tribal people in the Rayagada
District of Orissa suffering from leprosy, cholera, malaria TB and hepatitis.
Although this early work was focused on these diseases, it was soon
recognised that addressing the needs of the people required a more holistic
approach that would increase incomes whilst at the same time preserving
the natural environment on which the tribal people depended.
In 1985 an organisation named the New Hope Rural Leprosy Trust was established
to develop this approach. The FIOH Fund has supported some of the smaller
projects of New Hope since 1995. FIOH UK has also supported projects
before the affiliated charity was established.

TRANSIT CENTRE FOR STREET CHILDREN IN GUNTUR
In
2000, Mohan Rao and his
brother and some friends established HEARTS to help poor and marginalised
people. One of its first projects was to rent lock-up buildings close
to Guntur railway station to provide the 'street' children with accommodation,
some education and vocational training and games facilities. In
2003 the FIOH Fund provided a grant for a permanent home for the children
at a rural site about 6 miles from Guntur city centre on a one and
half acre site which HEARTS had acquired with a bank loan. The home
was inaugurated on 19th Feb 2004 during a visit by FIOH Fund chairman,
Mike Thomas. Plans for the future include a row of vocational training
workshops, playing area, sheds for buffaloes and chickens, small neem
tree plantation and organic vegetable plot. The boundary will be defined
by rows of coconut trees. A 60m deep borewell and pump have been provided
for the home and the crops and animals.
The FIOH Fund provided a grant to build the new home.

TSUNAMI DISASTER RELIEF
Backgound
A tsunami triggered by an undersea
earthquake struck Indonesia on 26th Dec 2004 and was to claim the
lives of about 273,000 people in total along coasts around the Bay
of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea and extending as
far as Africa. The FIOH Fund responded by fundraising to help the
victims, as were thousands of other people around the world. The
following pictures illustrate the aftermath situation far better
than words can. New Hope was once again involved in helping the
victims, especially in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The FIOH Funds
help was this time routed through HEARTS.
This disaster, perhaps because of the large number of tourists killed,
had received wide media coverage. Many of the tourists who narrowly
escaped the disaster raised large sums to help the victims and an
early warning system, similar to the one that already operated in
the Pacific region, has now, belatedly, been installed. Ironically,
this disaster helped to lay the foundation of an agreement between
the Indonesian government and rebels in the Aceh region. However,
towards the end of 2007, the large amount of aid which flooded into
the region was to create tension between coastal dwellers and poor
people inland who had not benefited .
