Our Programs

In 1978, at its founding, HOINA served seven boys. Today, HOINA serves more than 200 children. The children come to HOINA from villages, city streets, neighbors, pastors, and social workers.

HOINA's girls' home (pictured above right) is located in southeast India near Chennai and houses more than 100 girls from infancy through college.

The boys' home near Visakhaputnam (pictured at right) houses more than 100 boys and an agricultural program.

Both the boys' and the girls' facilities provide medical care, education, career training, and hands on experience with the arts.

HOINA also operates a free medical clinic which serves 15,000 women and children annually, and a mobile  medical unit which serves 35 villages, plus a hot lunch program for elderly widows (below right).
