International Haven of Private Education (IHOPE, New York State) and The Community Technical Education Trust (CTET, Hyderabad) were created and registered nonprofit organizations in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Mission
To serve the needs of underprivileged minority students for vocational education and training, free of any cost, by establishing and operating not-for-profit centers, funded mainly through private supporters, so as to enhance their economic empowerment.
Core Values
Empowerment Through Education – We believe that knowledge and skills are the foundation for economic independence and social progress.
Equal Opportunity for All – Every individual, regardless of background, gender, caste, or class, deserves the chance to succeed and thrive.
Integrity & Transparency – We uphold the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and ethical responsibility in all our operations.
Community Upliftment – Our goal is to not just educate individuals but to transform entire communities, breaking the cycle of poverty.
Social Development
IHOPE is actively engaged in several social development initiatives aimed at uplifting underprivileged minority communities. Some of its key focus areas include:
Youth Empowerment – Providing vocational training and skill development programs to help underprivileged youth secure stable employment and break free from the cycle of poverty.
Eliminating Child Labor & Youth Abuse – Advocating for education over labor, IHOPE works to rescue and rehabilitate children from exploitative conditions by offering them educational opportunities and skill training.
Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment – Through initiatives like the Girls Academy of Tailoring (GAT), IHOPE provides commercial sewing training to underprivileged women, helping them achieve financial independence in a traditionally male-dominated society.
Fighting Discrimination & Harassment – IHOPE is committed to combating gender, caste, class, and religious discrimination, ensuring that all individuals have equal access to education and opportunities.
