Sarah Taylor is raising money for Hope 4 India - Creating sustainable caring communities where lives are transformed
“Sarah Taylor's fundraising”

on 24 June 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Hope 4 India cares for abandoned children in Andhra Pradesh through the provision of food, accommodation, clothing and education. Our children’s home in Kallur is currently supported by sponsors and a UK-funded sustainable agriculture project. Thanks to ongoing investment, the agriculture project will totally fund the children’s home in the years ahead making the scheme financially independent of Western support.
