Pranic Healing For HOPE
Charity
Inspired by the teachings of Master Choa Kok Sui, Pranic Healing for HOPE was established in 2018 with the aim of raising much needed funds to support HOPE’s projects for the street connected and slum dwelling children of Kolkata. Please support this fundraising initiative for HOPE by clicking the donate here.
Since 2018, the wonderful Pranic Healing for HOPE supporters have been providing incredible funding for a variety of HOPE programmes in Kolkata.
Pranic Healing for HOPE are a wonderful example of sustained commitment, passion, support, and fundraising. They have raised in excess of a phenomenal €240,000 since 2018 for HOPE.
Their commitment to HOPE’s PBK Residential Care Centre, and Night Round programme is simply amazing. This group has also provided incredible support during Covid – paying for the costs of 5 cardiac monitors during this emergency period.
Pranic Healing for HOPE is also responsible for identifying many child sponsors for HOPE – and continues to increase the number of children who are sponsored in Kolkata via this programme.
They have always been innovative and exciting when it comes to fundraising activities and events and have provided items for auction and raffle over the years.
This tremendous group of supporters not only raises astonishing amounts of funding for HOPE, they also consistently raise awareness amongst the wider Pranic Healing community and beyond – and thus they are the voice of our street connected children and slum dwelling communities in Kolkata.
A Home of HOPE for the Children of Kolkata
PBK Residential Child Care Centre was established as a residential child care centre to protect the childhoods and rights of girls living in the red-light area of Kolkata.
Your donations to Pranic Healing for HOPE ensures that vulnerable children are supported with the necessary care for their development, and the restoration of their lost childhoods. These daughters of sex workers are stigmatized, under-privileged and marginalized in terms of social, political, and economic status within India.
