Before there was a plan, there was a need. We chose to respond with something lasting, rooted in love.
More Than a Program — A Path Forward
Hope Learning Centers became our first project for a reason. It started with a conversation. A local pastor in India shared how many children in his community were falling behind and left without the support they needed to grow, learn, and move forward.
​
We didn’t arrive with a blueprint or big ideas. We simply listened. What we heard wasn’t a call for charity—it was a need for consistency, care, and connection.
That’s how Hope Learning Centers (HLCs) began: not as a program, but as a response, born from Road to Damascus’ commitment to walk with those often cast aside.
Where Opportunity Is Scarce, Hope Shows Up
In the heart of India's underserved Christian communities, HLCs are breaking the cycle of poverty, one child at a time. Through high-quality education, nutritional support, and mentorship, RTD offers more than just a chance to learn. We're giving children the tools to change their futures.
$260
Your monthly gift of $260 empowers 25 children, transforming their lives and equipping them for a brighter future.
The Need for Action
Poverty affects 234 million people in India, but Christian families in underserved communities face unique and often unseen challenges.
Educational Disparities
High dropout rates and a lack of access to quality education prevent children from reaching their full potential, leaving them without the skills to break free from poverty.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Malnutrition not only stunts physical growth but also hinders cognitive development, making it harder for children to succeed in school and beyond.
Generational Poverty
Without intervention, children in rural India remain trapped in cycles of poverty, forced into unskilled labor and low-wage jobs. With limited access to education and resources, they face little opportunity for upward mobility.
HLCs tackle these barriers head-on with a holistic approach
Quality Education
Evening classes led by qualified tutors ensure children receive focused instruction. Modern resources, including books and technology, create engaging learning environments.
Nutritional Support
Daily meals and snacks improve students' physical and mental health. Health check-ups address medical concerns that could impede learning.
Comprehensive Mentorship
Progress tracking helps tutors tailor support to each child's needs. Life skills training and career guidance prepare students for dignified employment.
Meera’s Journey from Struggle to Success
Your support has the power to transform a child’s future. Take Meera, for example, a student from one of our pilot Hope Learning Centers (HLC). With access to evening classes, proper nutrition, and mentorship, Meera didn’t just improve academically—she gained confidence, uncovered her potential, and now dreams of becoming a teacher. This transformation isn’t just personal; it’s the beginning of a cycle of empowerment that will ripple through generations.
* Name changed for security purposes
We believe in the power of education to change lives. Our mission is simple: to provide children in India with access to quality education, offering them a path out of poverty and a brighter future. But the impact of HLCs doesn’t stop at just one center. Here's how we plan to scale and create lasting change:
