More than lessons
Two warm meals, every school day
For many of our children — around two out of three of whom are orphans — the meals they receive at Emperor Academy are the most reliable of their day. Every child is fed breakfast and lunch, so they can learn with full stomachs and clear minds.
Feeding the children was part of the plan from the very first day: the school was founded so that families who could not afford school fees would have somewhere safe to send their children while their mothers worked.
Clean water from our own hand pump, safety inside the walled campus, and caring adults round out an education that reaches the whole child. The buildings serve the wider community too — they have been used at times for Sunday worship services.
