Vulnerability is defined as “at risk” secondary school age children who may not be able to attend school because of no money to pay fees.

This may be caused by the fact that they are orphans being cared for by a relative with no means, parents are unemployed and/or unable to work, other children in the home are being given priority for funding or any other reason people are without the means to pay for school. These children are often brought to the attention of The Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare, the School Administrative Staffs, Teachers, Church leadership, Tuition Learning Centers, Institutes, or any community leader. To the extent that other programs are not already assisting these individuals, every effort will be made to step in and help as many as possible within Livingstone.

It is also the goal of Wings of Hope that events such as mission efforts, outreaches, crusades, feeding programs and other activities will serve to identify increasingly more needs of children in more rural areas over time. It is a primary objective that a model of supporting rural community schools by assisting with paying teacher salaries is implemented to guarantee the presence of teaching staff in an area where students would not otherwise be able to attend school.
