Fewer than 1 in 10 children born into extreme poverty transcend it without sustained intervention. In India, South Africa, and Mexico, children from underserved communities face significant barriers to accessing quality education and securing sustainable livelihoods. Addressing the needs of children facing multidimensional poverty requires more than education; it demands long-term investment in every aspect of a child’s life, from healthcare & mental health to family support & career guidance.

Since 1998, Christel House has empowered 25,000+ children from under-resourced communities to realise their potential and transform their futures. We are more than just a school. We support each of our students for 18+ years, integrating rigorous academics with nutrition and healthcare, life skills, social support, and career guidance from age 5-23. By launching new schools in India, South Africa & Mexico, we are significantly expanding our impact to reach thousands more students.
