About Martha Hill
Martha Hill International Academy (MHIA) was inspired by the life and legacy of Martha Hill, a woman with an unwavering passion for educating underprivileged children. Though she never had the opportunity to receive a formal education herself, she firmly believes that education has the power to transform lives and shape destinies.
Now 85 years old, Martha has dedicated much of her life to teaching and supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Her belief that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their family’s financial standing, stems from her own experiences and hardships growing up.
