You are welcome to
the website of Kids Hope
School and Rehabilitation Center, Jipal. We are registered under
the
Laws of Plateau State of Nigeria as a not-for-profit girls education and
rural
community empowerment school and rehabilitation Center. We are located
on the
Rural Rocky Hills of Tokbet Village in Mangu Local Government Area of
Plateau
State, Nigeria’s “Home of Peace and Tourism”.
The
School is a nongovernmental organization with no funds of its own, and
does not
enjoy grants from any arm of the government of Nigeria [local, state or
federal]. The School, therefore, has to solicit for funds and materials
from
charitable organizations and humanitarians for the benefit of the
disadvantaged
children we serve. We are tax-exempt in accordance with Decree 104 of
1993 of
The Income Management Act of Nigeria by Plateau State Government.
The
primary focus of the School is to bring hope to the poor, most
neglected, helpless and disadvantaged children regardless of sex, race,
religion or political affiliations. The School works strictly in
accordance
with its pledge of equal opportunity/affirmative action in all its
policies.
Furthermore we aim to bring general improvements for the benefit of the
people
of Jipal District
About
150 children attend the School of whom 90% are disadvantaged
(orphans, handicapped and girls). Although some parents can afford
modest fees
the majority cannot. The School is run by a board of seven (7) unpaid trustees, made up of
parents
and relations of children with disabilities and orphans. The School
employs 9
staff, and receives voluntary help from the School’s Parent-Teachers
Association.
