The City Of Hope And Joy Foundation

The City of Hope and Joy Foundation was created in 2001 under the spiritual principles of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and is characterized by its commitment to the most disadvantaged. Without distinction of origin, creed, ethnicity, culture, race or gender, we try to help them transform their poverty sufficiency, trying to provide the ability to be architects of their own destiny. The Foundation's primary mission is EDUCATION, without losing sight of feeding and healing children and adults with whom we work with. We believe that education is the pathway out of poverty and that through it hope and a future is created. Although our work began years earlier, it was a letter from Father Gaston Dayanand, which led to the creation of the Foundation. At first, we supported various existing projects in India. Then, we built a home for children with leprosy; Asha Bhavan Centre, a center for children with disabilities; support microcredit programs for women; Boats fund-Hospitals in the Ganges Delta and prevention campaigns conducted against leprosy and tuberculosis, among other initiatives. Gradually, we were launching our own projects and action spread to southern India, Africa, Latin America and Spain. Also we act in times of natural disasters like the tsunami in Southeast Asia or the earthquake in Haiti. Over recent years we have been concentrating our efforts on a smaller number of countries, with the aim of being more effective and more efficient, making our impact as large as possible.
