What We Need
The school is full. But the need is greater than ever.
Every space at All Is Grace School is filled — not because we’ve reached the limit of what the community needs, but because we’ve reached the limit of what we can sustain with current donations.
The demand is clear: more children want to learn. More families want a safe place to send them. But unless more support arrives, we simply cannot grow.
This page offers a glimpse of what it takes to keep the school running and what’s needed now to go further.
At Capacity — But Not at the Finish Line
- 95 children enrolled — and more being turned away
- One classroom serves two grades due to lack of space
- Many children walk miles to school — even during the rainy season when roads flood
- Not all students can afford a uniform or a full meal
This isn’t sustainable — but it is solvable.

Why This Matters
This isn’t just about bricks and chalk. It’s about creating a stable, loving, and safe space where children can grow, heal, and thrive. It’s about making sure that no child is left outside the gate because there wasn’t enough support.
And it’s about dignity in learning, in earning, and in knowing that someone out there believed this was worth sustaining.
