Living Hope School has been operating since 1996. It works with the Ministry of Social Welfare and the Ministry of Education and is registered as an NGO and as a community school. The school uses universal language of L.S.B.A.T which stands for “learners should be able to.”

The pass rates for 7th and 9th grade exams range between 75-84%. The school is housed in a 2-story building with 25 rooms, many of which are inadequate learning environments.

There is also a transit home on location that has supported 185 orphans from 1996 to 2013 and currently supports approximately 15 orphans and vulnerable children.
