About Us
Education is not only a human right, but it is also an essential tool for individuals to break the poverty cycle and to building the human capital of nations.

Located in the heart of the community where our services are needed most, Our school is a place where orphans find hope, transformation, growth, food, school, love, and Biblical education. It is a haven where young lives affected by tragedy and disease discover wholeness and comfort, while the abandoned find love and acceptance.
