Our projects

Located in Kiswishi, a small poor suburb/village 35 km from Lubumbashi downtown, the Life-Hope Primary School caters principally to orphans and other disadvantaged youth. Our tuition-free program, based on the Congolese curriculum, educates +/- 150 children annually from the 1st through to 6th grade.

Many children in the area, are from the conflicts displaced families and do not attend school.

We support the education of 150 children yearly. While the school follows the Congolese curriculum, we are incorporating more material to support their understanding of the teachings for a better outcome. The classes range from first to 6th grade. More classes are added gradually as the children progress.

In DRC, a country where education is paid for, many families live very poorly and cannot afford the education fees.

The School

This year, we are serving children from 1st to 6th grade between 6 to 17 years of age. Having one teacher per classroom is all we can afford currently...

Building Project

This is an ongoing project. Our classrooms were in the middle of constructions, as the building materials were deteriorated when we got hit by a major storm.

Our teachers

The staff members are the only ones receiving a small payment as recognition for their work. We always try to have a good gender balance among our staff...

Meal program

We have a lot planned for the future of our school. We need to bring back the meal program and we need to have all children attend classes in the morning.

Support program

The children of Life-hope are all underprivileged and orphans, therefore most don"t pay school fees...

Our future Plan

Besides the ongoing building project, we are planning to launch our Green Hope project.
