Shining Hope Foundation is a UK charity that

provides grants to carefully selected partners

around the world.

We work to promote sustainability and

harmony between people, animals and nature.

We currently support Karuna-Shechen, a

charity founded by the famous Buddhist monk,

Matthieu Ricard.

Our medical

projects

The clinic treated more than 25,000 people in 2013, helping some

of the most vulnerable people in India.

In 2013, the mobile clinics served more

than 24,500 people from 18 rural villages.

The majority of the patients are women

and children, who have previously never

had any access to healthcare.

Our

environmental

projects

As well as personal development, we are

committed to encouraging sustainable environmental change.

Recently, 1,000 kitchen

gardens were created. By

providing seeds and plants,

families are encouraged to

grow their own food. This

ensures they have a constant

supply of fresh vegetables.

The rainwater harvesting project has given

people access to a reliable source of water all year round. They now

have clean, safe water to use for cooking, gardening and washing.

Our social

projects

Through our non-formal education projects, we support women

and children by empowering them to change their lives through

personal development.

For example, the candle making project teaches a skill that allows

them to make a product they can sell at markets, providing an

income for their families.

Women learn to

read using

normal teaching

materials, and

everyday items.

We work with the local pre-schools

and authorities in Bihar to provide

children with toys to aid development.

With your help, Shining Hope

Foundation can expand on these

ground-breaking and sustainable

projects, to make lasting change to

some of the most vulnerable

people in India.
