Since inception, and for over 20 years, the organization has supported thousands of children complete their primary and college education. As our children complete their studies, they go on to become productive men and women who contribute back to their communities. This cycle allows us to continue to onboard new children into the program every day, with goals of creating a self-sustaining community that is rooted in education for all, and service to others.
Pray with us that our Lord may bless and grow this mission in reaching millions of children around the world
