The Brain Tree School started in 1994 as a nursery school for children living in poverty or who had been orphaned due to malaria or AIDS. The school has since grown, providing housing and education to over 250 children a year. Our past fundraising campaigns have helped to build the school's infrastructure, technology and even a scholarship fund to help some students continue their secondary education after leaving Brain Tree.  We appreciate this partnership with Brain Tree as this relationship broadens our understanding of the global community.
