  The Hope Project was founded in 1975 by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan. Moved by the extreme poverty of the people living in the vicinity of the dargah of Hazrat Pir-o-Mursheed Inayat Khan, he resolved to do something to relieve their suffering. The Hope Project is Pir Vilayat's reinterpretation of the ancient tradition of alms giving at Sufi tombs. Rather then simply receiving hand-outs, the poor are helped to help themselves.

"Everyone will agree that it is in the youth that physical, mental and intellectual potentialities are more dominant and therefore it is they who can make significant contribution in any field of activity. If we take the history of any outstanding personalities, we find that they could achieve what they did because they were inspired to put their heart and soul into their quest right from their youth."

"Education is not literacy but is the awakening of consciousness. Education should encompass all-round development, resulting in a well-integrated personality and should enable one to stand on his own feet. Education, as a Mahatma puts it, is the unfoldment of the perfection that is already in man."
