The school students and the youth are so excited to receive MS office skill training at HOPE worldwide computer labs.

We have started FREE TUITION for Maderna colony Govt. school students after school hours. The goal of this is to provide help to the poor and weak students in their school curriculum. 22 students have enrolled so far for FREE TUITION. We are in discussions to start the same for Police Lines school students also.

We want to thank you for all your support and help without which we would not be able to achieve all we have so far.

We look forward for your feedback and support.

Thank you

1st Certificate Ceremony held

23^rd September was a day of joy for HOPE worldwide- Pali, as our first youth batch was awarded certificates. 30 students of Youth Batch completed their Diploma in Computer Application at Shri Sultan Govt. Sr. Sec. School. The students had four months of training and practice. As they receive these certificates they have felt as if they have crossed a milestone towards a promising career. The HOPE staffs were very happy to see their efforts with the government are finally bearing fruit.

We want to thank all the donors who have helped them to dream big…
