We are more bright hope toward matriculating 500 children and helping to bring improved development and conditions and sustainable behavior change among the surrounding communities. In the forthcoming years, 10-15 additional orphanage children will be joined every year the program. The following are the objectives and priority areas of assistance.


1. Child Sponsorships
The AOKCC program is growing, and it is extremely important to receive contributions by benefactor to help meet the basic program costs. As a first priority, AOKCC needs the assistance of individuals, businesses and other organizations to take up child sponsorships. Presently, only some 25% of the children have sponsors. This is the most direct and affordable route for individuals and businesses to get involved in a modest but meaningful way. Sponsors can choose to have direct relations and correspondence with the assisted children. In the next three years, AOKCC needs to enrol at least 40 additional child sponsors. $35.00 per month, or $420.00 per year for each kids provides them a full life .


2. An Endowment Fund

AOKCC needs the assistance of philanthropists, foundations and businesses to help capitalize such a fund.AOKCC’s objective is to establish an endowment fund of $500,000.


3. On-Site Resource Generation

ECF needs to expand the operation to include other resource generation activities such as milling, honey and poultry production, pottery, weaving, embroidery and sewing.AOKCC seeks a strategic partner to help strengthen and expand its farm-based resource generation activities.
