"Just one second with these amazing children and you will fall in love, as I did, forever. They become a part of your soul, heart, and inspiration for life. These children have lost so much, yet their hearts are filled with love and hope for the future. Together, we can return the love by giving hope, education, love and protection."
- Jillian Wolstein, Executive Director of HELP
Millions of children throughout the World struggle everyday to survive the harsh realities of extreme poverty. No child should ever endure such hardship; when it's every child's birthright to receive hope for a bright future, education to grow, unconditional love, and protection from disease and illness.
After seeing first hand, the challenges these children face on a day-to-day basis, Jillian Wolstein, and her family, were inspired to make a difference by giving the children a chance to make their dreams and aspirations become a reality. In 2006, Jillian Wolstein, founded HELP, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing Hope, Education, Love and Protection to children everywhere. The foundation has first established its programs in Malawi, Africa, with an ultimate vision of carrying out the mission on a global level.

The students at the Nanthomba Primary School are primarily local orphans, children from local villages and children of National Park employees. Originally, the school began with 320 pupils. To date, due to the eagerness and excitement of an education, the school has 750 students. HELP operates the school, as well as supports three other community schools with teachers aids, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education and provides teachers with stipends and training,which contribute to the upgraded educational standards of the facility. HELP is in the process of searching for land within walking distance to the village, with the hope of building a secondary school in the near future.
