Hope Notes

New school opened!

11/10/2018
Students and teachers on the first day of school at Three Communities Primary School

Education for Hope (EFH) embarked on an ambitious journey in 2013 to build a new school from the ground up, which will serve three communities where there are no schools. Because of the lack of schools, the children do not go to school, and those who are strong enough walk miles away to attend the closest school. The new school is equipped with six classrooms, an office, and a library. Read more about New school opened!
