Ohr Olam Global Foundation
Divine Light
Bringing light. Restoring dignity. Building opportunity.
Restoring dignity to the vulnerable, including widows and orphans, through sustainable, community-driven change beginning in Kenya.
Our Mission & Vision
To bring hope, restore dignity and lasting opportunity to the vulnerable — including widows, orphaned children, and underserved families — delivering sustainable, community-driven solutions through education, economic empowerment and community development.
Compassion
Every person deserves dignity, love, and the opportunity to thrive.
Community
Real change happens when communities lift each other up together.
Hope
We believe in the transformative power of light in the darkest places.
Integrity
Transparent governance and accountable stewardship in all we do.
"A world where underprivileged communities have the opportunity and resources to build a hopeful future."
Our Faith and Approach
Isaiah 58:10 inspires us to respond to hunger and affliction with practical compassion. We seek to reflect the love of Christ through service that respects every person’s dignity. Our proposed approach is to listen to local priorities, develop programs with communities, and build support that can be sustained over time.
We welcome partners who share our commitment to compassionate service. Assistance is guided by need and is not conditional on religious belief.

Our Impact
Through community-driven partnerships, we are building sustainable change across Kenya and expanding to serve vulnerable communities.
Our Focus Areas
These focus areas guide the programs we are developing.
Education and Opportunity
We aim to reduce barriers to learning for vulnerable children and young people. Our developing Education Access Program includes digital learning and practical support that can help learners participate, build skills and prepare for the future.
Widows and Family Wellbeing
Our founding commitment includes walking alongside widows and families facing hardship. We aim to develop practical support, opportunities for connection and pathways to greater stability, while keeping the wellbeing of orphans and vulnerable children central.
Livelihoods and Community Development
We aim to help vulnerable people strengthen their livelihoods and the communities that support them. As capacity grows, we intend to develop locally informed opportunities for skills, economic participation and access to essential resources.
Digital Learning and Inclusion
Ohr Olam Global Foundation is developing a school-based digital learning initiative in rural Kenya. The proposed initiative would expand access to technology and practical digital skills, with teacher support and planning for sustainable use.
Help Build Lasting Opportunity
We welcome conversations with individuals, foundations, businesses and community organizations who share our commitment to vulnerable people. Opportunities may include financial support, technical expertise, equipment, training and volunteering, depending on the needs and readiness of each initiative.
Our current education priority is a digital learning initiative under development in rural Kenya. Appropriate project information may be shared privately as partnership discussions progress. Please contact us to explore how your experience or resources could support this work.
