Making a Difference Today

what we do

Our mission is to empower and equip  Kiminini, a rural Kenyan community, to care for its most vulnerable members.  We mainly focus on widows, susceptible children, the sick, and the impoverished.  We have developed a program with the community, providing family-based care for disenfranchised children, run by compassionate Kenyan staff, and we are thrilled by the miraculous progress achieved!  Vulnerable youngsters in the community, who had limited futures,  are now graduating from high schools, polytechnic schools, colleges, and universities!  

vulnerable children

Our disenfranchised children live in families, not in orphanages. Often they are housed with a widowed grandmother or another relative. Without additional resources, these "guardians" are often unable to provide care. 


We furnish youngsters with school fees, supplies, required uniforms, shoes, healthcare, supplemental nutrition, and support from our compassionate social workers.

​

This care is not possible without sponsors.  Change a child's world for $50/month or $600 /year!  Let us know if you have a gender/age preference, or we can pick the neediest child for you!  Click the button below to email us regarding child sponsorship!

OWI vulnerable children receive annual check-ups and medical care when needed.


OWI has been facilitating annual mobile medical clinics in collaboration with Kenyan medical professionals since 2004 and often partners with Global Health Partnership, Inc.  We provide medicines, supplies, and assist in running the clinics. Free treatment has been given to thousands of impoverished patients who previously had no access to healthcare.

who we are

Six ordinary women saw the abject poverty and limited health care in Kiminini, a rural Kenyan village, and knew they had to do something. Especially concerning were orphans and widows, rendered destitute due to tribal traditions.  Equipped with daring faith and compassion, they founded OWI 501 (c) (3)( EIN 04-3813690) in 2004 to effect change, create hope, and build better lives for Kiminini.  Working in tandem with locals, they have established a community farm, installed four wells, developed a sponsoring program for children’s education, built a community center, provided health clinics, presented educational events, and provided supplies during the COVID pandemic.


Wanting all donations to benefit the village directly, all stateside workers are volunteers, fundraising, advocating for children, and pursuing endeavors benefitting the community at large.

education


Education is of utmost importance in stopping the cycle of poverty.  We provide school fees and support students through school and home visits.  We also offer academic camps to supplement learning.  Field trips and career days expand student horizons and inspire their imaginations.  Upon graduating from high school, we hope to provide basic computer classes and partial college scholarships (when funds allow).
