Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Hands of compassion international (hoci) is primarily a christian based boarding home program for underprivileged children in southeast india. This program provides for the basic needs of those involved in the program and gives them a head start for life.
Programs: India inspection trip-to survey the programs and personnel in place, photograph each of the children for the sponsors, and generally encourage the work being done. Current and future needs were assessed. Opportunities to speak at local churches. Four board members participated.
two children's homes: compassion home (in ongole, india) and pearl's home (in santhamagalur, india) that provide basic shelter, food education costs, clothing, medical care and extra tutoring, as needed, for 100 children. . Pearl's home home is not used as much for a boarding home now, our children go home in the evenings. Previously, we were keeping children from neighboring villages that had no school and came to santhamagulur for school; they stayed at the home. At that time, we kept our local children at the home too. Now that we just have local children, they eat their meals, do their studies, tutoring, etc. At the hoci facility but go home to sleep. . This past year we enrolled 12 of our children in private english medium school. They do all their classes and studies in english, making them very fluent in the language. There is a great demand for fluent english speakers in india and we believe this will give our children a distinct advantage when they go on to advanced studies and to the workplace.
