Eden Schools
We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Life Connection Ministries, in collaboration with the Matthew E. Russell Foundation, has recently purchased a private primary school in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
A New Beginning
Little Eden Primary School has been serving the rural community of the Eastern Cape for nearly twenty years. With approximately 190 students from Grade R (kindergarten) to 9th grade, and a dedicated team of 14 educators and 3 administrators, this school is a cornerstone of the community.
The 1.2-hectare (3.2-acre) campus features 10 classroom buildings and 3 administrative support buildings, including a new state-of-the-art library completed in May 2024 by the Matthew E. Russell Foundation.
A Vision for Excellence
Our vision for Little Eden is to create an educational environment where high-quality learning is the norm for every child. We aspire to develop a student-centered community that nurtures and empowers students to grow in all aspects of their lives.
Overcoming Challenges
While the opportunity to improve education is great, the challenges are equally significant. Many families in this rural community face employment difficulties, making it hard to afford quality education for their children. Despite these challenges, we are committed to providing the best educators and administrators.

Investing in the Future
We believe that a safe and sanitary environment is crucial for learning. We are addressing essential infrastructure needs, including drilling a well for potable water, building new bathroom facilities, and installing a new fence for security.
