TOGETHER, WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
Now over 750 refugee students are enrolled in safe Christian boarding schools—all because of the outpouring of support from YOU, who believe in making a lasting difference in this world.
But our work is not done.
There are thousands of high school-age youth in need of safety and quality schooling. Impact Hope is prayerfully working hard to extend this opportunity as far as possible!
