Passion : Orphans, Kids, Jesus, Ministry, Sharing
Dream : Being an orphan isn’t a choice but God’s plan to prove His mighty through providing and care for them using people around them. So my dream is that God uses us to show them love and care.
Background: I grew up as a street kid because my parents died when I was still young and I managed to survive on streets for 13 years but We used to spend almost a week without eating, we used to fell sick when no one can help, so decided to find a way to help them and I came up with an orphanage helping needy people now I have 25 orphans, and 10 other kids which I support within their families
Project: We face a lot of challenges including hunger, house rent, medication and education though the biggest challenge we have here at the orphanage is hunger because kids are sensitive when it comes to hunger so our project is to get a land and on that land we can put on big projects like a school a hospital a home and a farm then when this project comes to reality we can get a home free medication free education and food for these beautiful kids
