How We’re Different
HOINA is a home raising up the next generation of leaders in India. Here is what sets HOINA apart:
Our Mission
HOINA is on a mission to provide a home to as many children in need as we can. We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe & loving environment. Will you stand with us?
Our Vision
Our vision is to not only provide basic necessities to children in need, but to also raise them up as India’s next great leaders, instilling values, character, integrity, and creativity in them from an early age.
1. A Home, Not An Orphanage
At HOINA, we want to create an environment that feels like a home, not an institution. Our staff is encouraged to view the children as their own, and some of them, have cared for our children from infanthood. We pride ourselves on having state-of-the-art facilities. Our 25-acre campus is bright, clean, and colorful, filled with flowers and mango, papaya, and banana trees. Our building plans are designed to allow maximum natural light in. We have ample staff to take care of children’s needs and a nutritious, varied menu to keep our kids healthy.
Our children receive only the best quality food, homemade soy milk twice a day, snacks when they get hungry, and special desserts. Staff is assigned to smaller groups of children to watch over their particular needs. We provide daily vitamins and medical care as needed. Tutors come 3 times a week to help our children with school work. We love to join our children in extracurricular activities, whenever we are able to find good teachers in our area. Over the years, our children have learned art, traditional and modern dance, drama, self-defense, puppetry, and music. After graduation, we encourage our former students to come back and visit their home, mentor younger children, and be involved however they can be.
2. University-level Education & Job Training
Many children’s homes and group homes take care of orphaned children until they turn 18. Once they’re of legal age, they are out on their own. At HOINA, we believe in treating our kids like they’re our very own. We are committed to raising them until they can stand on their own feet. Whether it means providing formal University-level education, or technical training, we are committed to providing our children with the life and educational skills they need to achieve their dreams. When our children graduate from high school, we assess their individual needs, abilities, and aspirations and do what we can to help them transition from our home into the community as seamlessly as possible.

3. Emphasis On Community Involvement
HOINA believes firmly in teaching our children to have a love for and sense of ownership in their communities. We strive to teach our children how to be leaders in their generation, and how to take initiative in making their communities better. Our children grow up with a sense of responsibility to be stewards of their homes, their communities, and their country. HOINA teaches our children the importance of caring for those less privileged than they. We want to see our children grow up with the obligation to use their talents to make their country better.
4. Transparency On Every Level
At HOINA, we pride ourselves on having transparency on every level. Our US headquarters is currently all volunteer run so that more of your donation will directly benefit the children. We operate with as little overhead as possible. We have a strict financial system in place that accounts for every penny donated. Maintaining transparency and integrity in all financial matters is of the utmost importance to us.
