About Circle of Hope

Building futures, one over — and one classroom — at a time.

A registered non-profit trust working across cricket, sports, education, health and community welfare, built on transparency and measurable impact.

Our Story

From one ground to eighteen centers

Circle of Hope began as a weekend cricket coaching circle for children in a single neighborhood who had talent but no access to kits, grounds or guidance. As the number of children grew, so did the need — for tuition support when school fees became a barrier, for basic healthcare when injuries and illness went untreated, and for a trustworthy structure that families and donors could rely on.

Today, Circle of Hope is a registered non-profit trust running structured cricket programs, education support and health camps across 18 community centers, governed by a board that publishes its accounts every year.
