Kashmir Project
As an experienced NGO in the field of health and education, the Hope Project can use its experiences to serve as a catalyst for new projects. This happened in 2012 in the small village of Mattipura in Kashmir. Severely affected by the civil war-like conditions in recent years, 80% of the residents of this village live in poverty.
While a medical project was run by another NGO a long time ago, this building has now been empty for a long time. Employees of the Hazrat Inayat Khan Foundation evaluated the possibilities of starting a health project there again together with doctors from the Florence Hospital Srinagar. The doctors want to offer their services for health checks free of charge in their free time. This means that around 72,000 people in the region can be reached. The German embassy gave donations in kind and the Hope Project provided its know-how in implementing the first health camps. The project has now moved to a nearby village, where better premises have been made available to us free of charge and we can reach even more people. Due to the critical political situation, work in Kashmir is currently on hold.
Noor Inayat Khan Library
The Hope Project library named after Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan, daughter of Hazrat Inayat Khan and sister of Pir Vilayat, who was active as an English resistance fighter against the Nazis in occupied France and died in the Dachau concentration camp. She was not only honored posthumously in England, but was also discovered as a national hero in India. For the girls in the Hope Project, she is the idol of an empowered woman. In addition to teaching materials and children’s books, the library also has books by Hazrat Inayat Khan and Noor-un-Niza, which they wrote specifically for children and young people.
Write-to-Me project
Monika Müllmer worked as a volunteer in the Hope Project in autumn/winter 2014/15 and initiated the Write-to-Me project there. The aim here is to build intercultural partnerships via electronic media between Hope Project students and foreign students
