ABOUT

Suits & Sneakers recently discovered Christel House which is a school in Cape Town that educates the poorest of the poor at no cost. Their mission lines up with ours entirely and we would like to raise awareness of what they're doing and also try raise funds to support their events!

Here is more information about Christel House South Africa:


MISSION:

Poverty touches every aspect of a child’s life. The child born into poverty almost always remains trapped there unless significant interventions occur. Left unaided, impoverished children face a lifetime of physical and psychological trauma—illiteracy, malnutrition, disease, low self-esteem and lack of opportunity. These are among the root causes of poverty that Christel House overcomes.

Christel House is a holistic model designed to transform the lives of impoverished children. We do this by focusing on the “whole child.” We don’t just educate, or feed, or provide health care—we do all of these things—from early childhood through early adulthood. We develop the total child.


ACCOUNTABILITY:

Christel House South Africa adheres to rigorous business practices. Accountability and transparency are paramount, and financials are audited annually. Donor contributions go directly to programs benefiting the children, as administrative costs are borne by their Founder and CEO, Christel DeHaan.

Here's a look at the combined financial statements of all Christel House affiliates.
