Hyderabad Leprosy Mission - Based in Fort Worth
Welcome to Hopewallah Inc.
Hopewallah means one who provides hope. We support people with leprosy and their families through medical, educational, mental, and material assistance.
Our Beginning
The origins of Hopewallah began with Bishop Prabhudas Babbili, first bishop of the Anglican church of South India, diocese of Karimnagar. He ministered to hundreds of lepers and their families living in squalor, confined to leper colonies in remote locations.
Even today there is no running water or adequate sanitation, and these poor folk are condemned as "untouchable" while forced into a life of begging, rickshaw peddling, or municipality janitoring.
Continuing The Work
After Bishop Prabhudas's demise in 1996, the Babbili family, along with friends, church families, and generous donors, continued his work to care for people with leprosy.
By 2011, we saw the need to form a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and Hopewallah became a reality.
How Donations Help
Today, Hopewallah raises funds for medical, educational, and mental services. We provide clothing, food, blankets, mobility aides, sanitary supplies, and school supplies to help with the education of children living in the leper colonies.
We have 140 families in Maulali and 100 families in Parvathnager who still live in severe poverty. They receive minimal government subsidies that include scant rations, medicines, and wound care supplies. These families are at the mercy of your generous support. 100% of your tax-free donation goes to the care and treatment of people with leprosy and their families. We appreciate whatever you can give.
Material
Food, clothing, blankets, footwear, mobility aides, and basic household needs.
