The Hope Project

Founded in 1975 by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, The Hope Project began as a milk distribution program for malnourished children among homeless migrant families in the Nizamuddin Basti (area of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s dargah). What started with a small medical team and two modest classrooms has since grown into a full centre offering health services, education, and vocational training — including self-help groups that allow women to save and lend money independently. Its guiding philosophy remains “help for self-help”: unlocking people’s own capacity to become active contributors to their community, rather than simply providing aid. hopeprojectindia.in

Nekbakht Foundation

Named after Nekbakht Furnée, a devoted disciple of Hazrat Inayat Khan who dedicated her life to preserving his papers and lectures after his death in 1927, the Nekbakht Foundation is custodian of a remarkable archive: handwritten letters, photographs, and the original shorthand records of his lectures from 1922 to 1926. Since 1988, the Foundation has published these as the Complete Works, freely available to all. Its mission is to make this living archive accessible to academics, seekers, and students worldwide. nekbakhtfoundation.org
