Kids in Nature

The Hope Project’s nature-based learning initiative takes children from Nizamuddin Basti beyond the city to learn outdoors.

Learning beyond the city

Children in Nizamuddin Basti grow up in crowded neighborhoods with little open space.

The program takes children from the Basti on bus trips to other parts of India, including the ocean, which many see for the first time. A new campsite is taking shape in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, near Ranthambore National Park, about four hours from Delhi. Groups of 30 to 40 children will camp there and learn about animal husbandry, growing and cooking healthy food, and conserving water. The goal is to bring 300 children a year.

Construction slowed during the heavy rains of 2024 and is continuing. Donations help develop the land and build the facilities the children will use.

Story

Mustkim

Students have already begun to leave their mark. Mustkim, a Class 10 student at Hope Non-Formal School, painted a large peacock mural on one of the doors at the site. The project gave him a new outlet for his artwork and a boost in confidence.
