Overview

Mission

Hopewallah raises funds for medical, educational, and mental services. We provide medical and psychological telehealth, clothing, food, mobility aides, sanitary supplies as well as school supplies to help with the education of children living in the leper colonies. We have 140 families in Maulali and 100 families in Parvathnager who still live in severe poverty.

What it reported doing in 2025

The origins of Hopewallah began with Bishop Prabhudas Babbili, first bishop of the Anglican church of South India, diocese of Karimnagar. He ministered to hundreds of lepers and their families living in squalor, confined to leper colonies in remote locations. Even today there is no running water or adequate sanitation, and these poor folk are condemned as "untouchable" while forced into a life of begging, rickshaw peddling, or municipality janitoring. After Bishop Prabhudas's demise in 1996, the Babbili family, along with friends, church families, and generous donors, continued his work to care for people with leprosy. By 2011, we saw the need to form a 501c(3), non-profit organization, and Hopewallah - one who provides hope - became a reality.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
