We started with twenty (20) girls in 2013. In 2018 we started our school, The Pearl House Academy (PHA) and our vocational training at The Pearl House Career Center (PHCC). In 2019 we expanded our classroom space at PHA and our enrollment in all programs. We have now grown to serve more than 140 children and youth through our school, our sponsorships, our career center and our residential care facility.
