About Us
Education is not only a human right, but it is also an essential tool for individuals to break the poverty cycle and to building the human capital of nations. The Jerome Fleischer School for orphans is in the forefront in fighting the cycle of poverty through education and Biblical values by touching and changing one life at a time.
Located in the heart of the community where our services are needed most, Our school is a place where orphans find hope, transformation, growth, food, school, love, and Biblical education. It is a haven where young lives affected by tragedy and disease discover wholeness and comfort, while the abandoned find love and acceptance.
The school began its journey in an old garage before moving to its current location.
