We strengthen Ugandan families to adopt orphans and vulnerable children.

Story

I am raising money for Orphans Know More (OKM), a charity that was founded in 2005 in Harpenden, which operates under Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Orphans Know More is a relationally based partnership working together to give orphans a Face, a Family and a Future. OKM focuses on families, not institutions, and believes that the best way to tackle the international orphans crisis is to care for children in families. OKM is strengthening 26 local families in the Jinja Region in Southern Uganda. These families have fostered, adopted and care for 170 children as their own, offering love and acceptance without condition. These families function as nuclear and extended families, free from institutionalisation. Stronger families within the network also care for other families that may be headed by a widow who is HIV+.
