The "Bunyan Unique Model"

Educating the Child, Empowering the Family.

The Model

Since 2017, we have implemented a model that transcends simple schooling. We view the family as a unit. While we provide free education for orphans and underprivileged children, we simultaneously train youth from these same families to enter the job market and offer literacy and vocational training for parents.

Serving approximately 2,000 students annually.

A dedicated team of 35+ staff members working year-round.
