Partners

We are grateful for the support of countless individuals and organizations such as Indians for Collective Action, Asha Stanford, and Harvard Business School. A little more on some of our key partners:

Jagriti Vihara

In India, we have partnered with Jagriti Vihara, a well-respected Indian NGO. Since 1975 in the northeastern state of Jharkhand in India, Jagriti Vihara has been meeting the varied needs of the rural poor. Though Jharkhand is rich in mining operations and mineral wealth 70% of the population remains very poor. Their current programs include educating 1,000 children, providing an environmental awareness program, watershed development, vocational training for women, development of horticulture and agriculture and health and sanitation work. Members of our team have lived and worked with Jagriti Vihara in different years and our collective involvement goes back to summer 2000. The organization has also run a health clinic that will serve as the foundation for the hospital. Jagriti Vihara will oversee the hospital’s construction and daily operation. This partnership will bypass established interests and political squabbles and engage a committed local organization with a proven record of serving the local community.

We also have sister organizations in Sweden and Norway.

One World Children’s Fund

Hospital for Hope is supported by One World Children’s Fund, which networks resources directly to grassroots organizations that serve disadvantaged children around the world: “We recognize that local people know best how to resolve problems in their communities when they have access to resources to build a sustainable future for children and their care givers. We believe that people living in the United States have a profound opportunity to make a difference by collaborating with innovative groups that are investing in the health, dignity and overall well being of children.”

Construction for Change

Our hospital design is supported by Construction for Change, which partners with organizations worldwide to provide needed infrastructure for economic, medical, and educational growth in developing communities; giving them the tools to eradicate poverty and improve quality of life for those in need.

Network of Indian Professionals

The Network of Indian Professionals (NetIP) is a professional, non-profit organization dedicated to the overall achievement and advancement of South Asian professionals. The primary focus of the organization is to foster a bond among South Asian professionals to unite and support each other locally, as well as to give back and contribute positively to the communities in which they live and work.

Today, the organization’s collective reach is over 350,000 people in North America between its radio show, subscribers, members, social media, partners and affiliates. With chapters in 24 cities across the United States and Canada, NetIP has become a premier networking brand over the years. It is the unequivocal voice for an emerging group of South Asians who excel in every aspect of western society, from business to politics to the arts. The rise of NetIP and its affiliated chapters reflects a general “Coming of Age” by South Asian professionals. For more information visit www.netip.org.

The Sumil Shah Foundation

The Sumil Shah Foundation is committed to helping children and their families create an environment that is conducive to their development through programs that foster their ethical, social and intellectual qualities. The foundation’s mission is to provide the basic necessities to children through contributions and outreach that they may have been deprived of in order to reach these goals and create values such as kindness, helpfulness, personal responsibility, and respect for others.
