Impact story

Three boys off the streets and into school

June 22, 2026

True love and genuine transformation in society are expressed through acts of compassion and commitment. At Cistern of Hope Foundation, we remain dedicated to our mission of fighting poverty and creating opportunities that will empower the current generation and many generations to come.

In the month of June 2026, through the support of a few individuals who believe in our vision and stand with us on this journey, we were blessed with the opportunity to take three boys from the streets and enrol them in school. It was a moment filled with great joy, hope and deep satisfaction to witness this life-changing step.

Our journey continues, and we are committed to following up on their progress in school while working to provide the support they need to continue their education successfully.

If you are inspired by what we are doing and would like to partner with us in transforming lives, we would be glad to hear from you. Together, we can bring hope, restore dignity, and create a brighter future.

The challenge

Three boys were living on the streets and out of school.

What we did

With the support of a few individuals who believe in the Foundation's vision, the boys were taken from the streets and enrolled in school.

The change

The three boys are enrolled and in uniform, and the Foundation is following up on their progress and on the support they need to stay in education.

Let's build lasting change together.

Partner with Cistern of Hope Foundation to strengthen pathways for children, young people, women, families and communities.
