Hope Project

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hope Project , actually Inayat Khan Dargah Hope Project, is an independent, interdenominational social program in New Delhi ( India ), which is supported by European and American donations . Originally the Hope Project was a "milk distribution project" that Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, who died in 2004, initiated in 1975 on the tomb of his father, the Sufi teacher Hazrat Inayat Khan , who is well known in the West . Within 30 years it has developed into a multidimensional project with 50 employees in the various programs. The project's patron is currently Pir Zia Inayat Khan , the son of Pir Vilayat.

The aim of the work on site is under the motto to bring hope into the lives of the residents of the Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti district and the adjacent slums by reinterpreting the old tradition of giving alms to Sufi mausoleums in a contemporary way. In addition to the charitable help to the needy in the health sector, the project gives people sustainable help for self-help and self-confidence in their own possibilities, especially through training in school and outside of school , so that they can create a decent livelihood that makes them independent of transfer payments.
