## Mission and vision

- **Mission:** 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.
- **Vision:** A world where underprivileged communities have the opportunity and resources to build a hopeful future.
- **Values:** Compassion, Community, Hope, Integrity.

## Faith and approach

Isaiah 58:10 inspires Ohr Olam to respond to hunger and affliction with practical compassion. The foundation seeks to reflect the love of Christ through service that respects every person's dignity. Its proposed approach is to listen to local priorities, develop programs with communities, and build support that can be sustained over time. Ohr Olam welcomes partners who share its commitment to compassionate service. Assistance is guided by need and is not conditional on religious belief.

## Focus areas

These focus areas guide the programs Ohr Olam is developing:

1. **Education and Opportunity:** Reducing barriers to learning for vulnerable children and young people. The developing Education Access Program includes digital learning and practical support to help learners participate, build skills and prepare for the future.
2. **Widows and Family Wellbeing:** Walking alongside widows and families facing hardship (a founding commitment) — developing practical support, opportunities for connection and pathways to greater stability, while keeping the wellbeing of orphans and vulnerable children central.
3. **Livelihoods and Community Development:** Helping vulnerable people strengthen their livelihoods and the communities that support them. As capacity grows, Ohr Olam intends to develop locally informed opportunities for skills, economic participation and access to essential resources.

## Initiative in development: 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. This is the foundation's current education priority. Project information may be shared privately as partnership discussions progress.
