Open Hands Community Project empowers students to break through the cycle of poverty and ignite change by providing education and discipleship in a safe, loving environment, where they are encouraged to discover their identity in Christ. Open Hands Community Project is a community development program designed to help students in previously disadvantaged communities, in South Africa, breakthrough the cycle of poverty and violence by providing a safe, loving and encouraging environment where they can learn and grow. The goal of the program is to equip and empower students with the tools they need to help them better their lives by focusing on Education, Bible Study and Life Skills while providing for everyday day needs and helping them find a hope for their future. We run a small subsidized High School offering quality education in a loving and encouraging environment for students who have a desire to succeed but the public system has failed.
