Community Hope School is a non-profit organization that is run and funded almost entirely by donations. John and Suzanne Hunter, the founders of the school, spend many months out of the year traveling to raise funds for the school. John also runs a pottery studio where he makes the empty bowls used for fund raising. The school currently has 88 students and 18 staff members and, every day, most of these students receive two meals and a healthy snack. Furthermore, the students are provided with school uniforms and most of their school supplies. It costs about $120 per month, per student to keep the school running. CHS is not only interested in the lives of the children, but also in the lives of local teachers. CHS provides jobs for local teachers, with about half of the staff members being local and receive a salary each month. The rest of the staff consists of mainly international volunteers. As of now the school does not yet have its own building, so several rooms and a kitchen are being rented from a local church. All of these expenses come up to about $10,000 per month. This amount does not include the occasional doctor’s visit or other emergencies that arise.
By donating to Community Hope School, you will be partnering with a vibrant ministry that is making a real difference, not only in the lives of 88 at risk children, but also in the community of Katutura. If you would like to join with CHS in ministering to the children of Katutura, you can sponsor one or more children for $120 a month.
