About Jelito
Jelito Girls Christian High School aims to raise girls and teen mothers in a safe and supportive environment where girls can be built into good character and dream big.
We provide educational empowerment to girls and young moms to become reliable citizens equipped with the knowledge and skills to deal with life's challenges. Central to our mission is the empowerment of girls to speak out against abuse and injustice.
Through our comprehensive educational and empowerment programs, we address these challenges by providing:
- academic empowerment and guidance
- training to help girls speak for themselves and build self-confidence
- necessary financial and emotional support and resources for success through scholarships and mentorships
Additionally, we believe in the inherent ability of every girl to succeed and equip them with the educational tools they need to overcome to adversity, pursue their aspirations, and positively change their communities.
