Every year, Children's Hope distributes woolen cloths to children living in the slums. From thermals to sweaters or from socks to caps, depending on the need of the children CH spreads warmth through the winter.

Unexpected Crises

When unexpected crises like hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods strike, Children’s Hope India steps in to lend a helping hand. We partner with established, local organizations that are actively working on the ground in the affected areas. We recognize that damage from natural disasters can have devastating effects on children and families, severely disrupting their lives. To meet some of the immediate and longer-term needs, CHI support a range of relief efforts. Here are some highlights:

- COVID-19 Pandemic - CH has actively participated in providing support where ever required.
