About HYTES
Our Story
Harold and Janet Pliszka travelled to Africa in 2005. There they met Goal Joseph Akongo who said “No more handouts, what we need is a seed so we can make it grow.” The seed is education and what started out as a backyard BBQ to raise funds for 1 -2 kids has grown into HYTES which is currently helping ~115 students this year.
