Primary Education for HOB Kids

Our strategy for ministering to orphans is comprehensive: We are not just building homes and providing food. We are funneling people and resources in a phased approach to assure that each child has an opportunity for development and advancement until they are fully established in life, career and ministry. A key component of our strategy to break the cycle of poverty and build leaders is through education.

Unlike the US, the developing nations we serve in require students to pay fees to attend school. As you would imagine, orphans don't have the resources to pay for school so they often don't attend. HOB Kids are blessed to have a chance to receive a primary education at no cost to them.

How it Works

HOB and its international partners recognize the value of education and all HOB Kids receive a primary school education. In fact, many of them provide on-site primary schools (typically Grade 1-6) for the children in their care. The cost of facilities, materials, and teachers are part of each project's monthly budget. Our partners also allow children in the community to attend school at no charge as space permits.

How you can support child education

HOB Child Sponsorship covers the cost of primary schooling for sponsored children while HOB must cover unsponsored children from our reserved funds. In an effort to ensure that all HOB Kids receive a primary education, we have launched The CORE Fund to provide vital support for these unmet monthly commitments.

Alena, our Ukrainian partners' daughter helps Nikita with homework. Alena arrives at the home daily by 1:30 and stays until 8 or 9 pm to spend time helping each of the kids complete their homework.	The primary school at House of Hope Home is a place where HOB kids and 50 children from the community learn under the watchful eye of their teachers. The children from the community attend the school at no charge and would not be able to attend school otherwise.
