The Need

Hope Academy will be nestled on a recently purchased avocado farm. Safe and secure, it will provide education for all grade levels—with both a day school and a boarding school for up to 24 girls.

Taught in a positive learning environment, the curriculum will emphasize: (1) science, arts, engineering and business with a global focus; (2) women’s rights, global relationship-building, and self-esteem; and (3) the cultivation of the girls’ intellectual, social, and spiritual development.

The land has been purchased. But there is much to do. Through the Growing Hope campaign, we will raise the funds needed to build Hope Academy on that land and operate the academy for the first year. Agricultural programming, including the sales of avocados, as well as sponsorship programs, will cover annual costs of the academy.
