The school was founded as a result of the increasing inequality and privation of the plight of the child in accessing basic education and care in rural areas outside of Accra.
The orphanage school presently has 60 children, ranging from age 3 to 15, attending every day. This is a year round project. A feeding program has been established to provide a hot lunch every day. The school levels range from pre-school through grade 6. School hours start from 7am to 3.30pm.
