The Cathy O’Shaughnessy Hope Fund was established July 2017. This fund has been set up by Cathy's family to help create opportunities for street and slum children in Kolkata, India. A staggering 250,000 children in Kolkata, are living on the streets with little or no shelter. To survive, they scavenge in rubbish dumps to find scraps to sell, or beg on the streets. Most are not in school and have poor health. Many of these children have been abandoned and are at high risk of abuse, exploitation and child trafficking. Working with the Hope Foundation, our goal is to break the cycle of poverty, through the provision of healthcare, education, counselling, life skills training, drug rehabilitation and to give children access to whatever supports are needed.
