THE YEAR OF ACCELERATION Vision
Mission
Values
Christel House transforms the lives of children by breaking the cycle of poverty.
To help impoverished children become self-sufficient members of society, Christel House provides robust RR – 12 education, character development, healthcare and nutrition, family assistance, career guidance and job placement.
Respect, responsibility, independence and integrity are organisational values that guide the work of Christel House.
2020 was a year like no other that any of us had ever experienced. We learnt about the novel coronavirus, and its disease, COVID-19. We experienced the loss of loved ones, job losses, a halt to the normal running of our schools and businesses, food insecurity and we saw hardship and suffering. As a non-profit organisation, a school and a key building block in the communities we serve, we had many challenges to face. We decided early on that the only way to do this was to adapt. We consciously made a choice to view the year as an accelerator into the 4th Industrial Revolution, as opposed to a disruptor. *Please note: images of students who are not wearing masks were taken while they were at home or before national COVID-19 protocols were in place.
