TWENTY YEARS TRANSFORMING LIVES When we opened the ďŹ rst Christel House in Mexico City in 1998, my dream was to help impoverished children break the cycle of poverty. Twenty years later, 5,154 students in India, Mexico, South Africa and the USA are now building a better future for themselves and their families. Almost 80% of our graduates are on target to achieve or have already attained, self-sufďŹ ciency. The Christel House model WORKS! I am stepping down as CEO of Christel House but will continue as its board chair. I am excited that Bart Peterson is taking the reins of our organization. New leadership will bring new ideas and new vision. The past 20 years have been a time of growth, development and remarkable achievement. There is more to come. Plans are currently underway to build our ninth learning center, Christel House Jamaica. It is an exciting time. Gratitude is embedded in the Christel House DNA. I am grateful to all of you for the love and support you have shown our Christel House kids. Thank you!

THE CHRISTEL HOUSE MULTIPLIER EFFECT Data shows almost 80% of our graduates are on target to achieve or have already achieved self-sufficiency. When the cycle of poverty is broken for one child, subsequent generations will also benefit. If each Christel House graduate has 2 children, 4 generations later 31 people would be impacted. If 80% of our current 5,154 students achieve self-sufficiency, the lives of 127,819 individuals would be transformed. While there is no way to ascertain with certainty the multiplier impact, this calculation demonstrates the power of permanently breaking the cycle of poverty.

GRADUATE SUCCESS STORIES
CHRISTOPHER K 2011 CHRISTEL HOUSE BANGALORE GRADUATE TECHNICAL ENGINEER - HEWLETT PACKARD INC., BANGALORE Christopher's childhood was especially rough before he enrolled at Christel House. His parents who worked in a garment factory struggled to provide for the family. “We couldn't afford a decent education. The school where I studied until Grade 4 was nowhere close to the quality of Christel House education, support provided, and the efficiency of teachers.” “Walking into my Grade 5 class I was timid and shy. Today I am more confident than I have ever been,” says Christopher. “I am very grateful to Christel House for helping me become the person I am today.” 8 | G R AD U ATE S UC C E SS ST O RIE S
PADMINI KASHI 2012 CHRISTEL HOUSE BANGALORE GRADUATE SUPERVISOR - JUMEIRAH GROUP OF HOTELS, DUBAI Padmini K says she applies the Christel House values of respect, responsibility, independence and integrity in every sphere of her life, at work and in her personal life. “Of all the morals we were taught at Christel House, honesty is what defines me,” she says. A career counselling workshop led Padmini toward a career in hospitality. She works as a Supervisor in the front office at the Jumeirah Group of Hotels in Dubai. “Christel House has given me so many opportunities,” says Padmini.
ZAKEER HUSSAIN - 2013 CHRISTEL HOUSE BANGALORE GRADUATE SITE ENGINEER – PRESTIGE CONSTRUCTIONS, BANGALORE Zakeer grew up in an extremely small house in a slum in central Bangalore where his father worked as a tailor. Today, he is a successful Site Engineer at one of the leading property development companies in India. “My life drastically changed after I joined Christel House.

Recalling his time as a student in Christel House, Zakeer is thankful. “I am forever grateful to Christel House for all the love, care and support I received as a student and continue to receive.”

2012 CHRISTEL HOUSE BANGALORE GRADUATE AGRICULTURAL OFFICER GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA, BANGALORE Our first Government job holder! Rakesh is a 2012 Christel House India graduate. “Had it not been for one of my teachers at Christel House I would not have developed such a strong interest and love for agricultural science,” says Rakesh. On completing his undergraduate studies in Agricultural Science and postgraduate studies in Agricultural Economics, Rakesh is now an Agricultural Officer with the Government of Karnataka, India. Rakesh says, Christel House helped him find new meaning to life. “I cannot imagine what I would be doing now had I not got the opportunity to attend Christel House.”
MALDREN JOYCE J 2013 CHRISTEL HOUSE BANGALORE GRADUATE KYC SPECIALIST – TRANSFERWISE – MBA STUDENT, ESTONIA Maldren remembers how until Christel House, education did not seem like a reality to her. She had been studying at a local school until she was expelled in Grade 1 because her family could not afford to pay her school fees. Maldren joined Christel House six months later in Grade 2 and became a Christel House graduate in 2013 and completed her Bachelors in Engineering. Today, Maldren is pursuing an MBA and working as a KYC Specialist at TransferWise in Tallinn, Estonia. “I strongly believe in the Christel House motto – to care, to share and to give back to the community.

I may not be able to support them completely, but I do ensure I help in whatever way I can.”
