Educando Para La Vida
City of Zaragoza, Guatemala
Founded in 2022. This is an elementary school from Kindergarten to 6th grade now with 120 students that serve mostly Mayan children. The majority of these children lack a father figure in the house due to their fathers moving North in search of a better job; however, many no longer support their family after leaving. As a result, the school also offers a teenager social program, a mother's job skill program, and medical care for the children.

Zahle School for Syrian Refugees
Lebanon
Established in 2018. Due to the war in Syria, over 1.5 million Syrians have been displaced into Lebanon resulting in many children without a school to attend. Initially, a local church and a mission organization financially supported this school. However, most of the funding ceased in 2023, and subsequently, O.H.H. adopted a large portion of the school's financial needs. There are now 40 students from kindergarten to second grade. This school not only provides the students with education but also emphasizes emotional support, as well as caring for the students' families. In the near future, they plan to increase the number of students and add vocational training classes.

Hui Lin School
Northern Myanmar
Founded in 2023 with 20 students. Due to the ongoing civil war, the students often leave their homes due to safety concerns. Older adolescents are forced to join the army or local militia groups. This results in an unstable schooling situation and poor education. Unfortunately, due to safety, there are times when the school is open one to three days in a week. Despite the various challenges, the local teachers are committed to serving the students to give them hope for a brighter future.
