Children do not choose to live in poverty...growing up, never realizing their potential. But there’s hope with your help. The story of Christel House started in 1998 as a dream to help poor children. Today, nearly 6,000 students are served at Christel House learning centers around the world in India, Mexico, South Africa and the United States. Our ninth school, Christel House Jamaica opened in October of 2020.
Christel House works to alleviate poverty and transform the lives of children. Students receive a robust K – 12 education, combined with a strong character development program. But Christel House is more than a school. Its holistic approach breaks the cycle of poverty by giving children the support to succeed. Christel House works. 80% of graduates are on target to achieve or have achieved self-sufficiency.
