Instead of building our own orphanage, we support existing local initiatives that do great work and rely on support. In particular, we are deeply impressed by the dedication of the staff, whose passion and heart for orphans is inspiring and contagious. Our on-site team visits the facilities regularly, provides support and builds relationships with the children and staff.

With their own house, we are not only giving Ombeni and his siblings a permanent home of their own, but also a contact point for many street children in his neighborhood. Ombeni cooks for them and dance groups for children take place in his small courtyard. He also has around 40 chickens that he breeds and sells to earn his own money. His current home is too small and costs monthly rent. Ombeni does a great job and needs space to do it!
