  • To care and support orphans and vulnerable children to grow into useful citizens.
  • To give hope and assurance of a future to orphans after the death of their parents and also to help them live spiritually upright and God fearing lives.

  • To mobilize more members and sensitize them to participate in the developmental activities of the Organization.

OUR VISION:

Our Vision is to see that we are helpful to our Communities to change them from a traditional rural communal life to a modern urbanized society.

 

Just like Job in the Bible when he said ‘I was eyes to the blind, ears to the deaf and legs to the crippled’ And also among the apostles, ACTS 4:34 “Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold.” So we are touched to have the same mind as the apostles had.

MISSION:

Focused on changing lives and ways of the people in the entire community and see to it that there is a transformation among youths and children.

 

OVER ALL GOAL:

To reach out to all the youth and children in life to upgrade their living standards and develop a self sustaining economy while improving living conditions of the disadvantaged group.
