NEW HOPE RURAL LEPROSY TRUST

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.

HEARTS

How it started
HEARTS was established in January 2000 as a response to the vulnerability and negligence of street children found begging and living roughly on the platforms of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh state, India. It primarily focused on early intervention of these children, re-uniting them with families where possible and providing opportunities to sustain their livelihood i.e. education, health care and economic empowerment through savings and vocational training opportunities.

HEARTS strengthened its capacity and social awareness by networking with various networks and advocacy forums particularly the Future In Our Hands International Network. HEARTS was inspired by the FIOH movement whose philosophy is to reflect solidarity and empathy by encouraging values such as co-operation, sharing, fellowship, truth and compassion.

It grew rapidly in the last seven years building rapport locally with the Government, Railways, Police Force, community, volunteers and entrepreneurs.
