The majority of students are orphans or are from very poor families or from the streets. The library that is attached to the school is multipurpose and includes reading material for vocational trainees and religious materials for the slum pastors and Christians. The World Bank donated many of the books, and the rest were donated by well-wishers. Currently there are around 5000 volumes in the library.
