Our philosophy is based on Maimonides' adage: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
Christel House builds and operates learning centers in impoverished neighborhoods with the goal of creating sustainable social and educational impact. Our holistic approach includes: quality education, nutritious meals, regular healthcare, life skills training, character development and work-study opportunities, as well as empowerment programs for parents and community members. At Christel House, children are taught the importance of caring, sharing and making a difference. As a result, the positive lessons learned by Christel House children are carried home, to impact the families and communities we serve.
"I could not imagine five years of studies at Christel House Venezuela would give me this unimaginable opportunity of becoming a Computer Science Engineer."
