| Daniel Ochieng, the Voice of Hope leader, has a heart for the practical needs of those in his community and in particular for widows and orphans. He and his wife began the home for orphan children in response to the needs that they saw around them and over the years it has grown to the point where there are 54 children living in the home on the campus. There are normally around 30 orphans on the waiting list to be looked after in the home, but space and finance are limiting factors. Daniel has shown himself over the years to be both committed to the community and effective in his efforts. The cost of the feeding programme at the school is reduced because of the extensive volume of produce the project farms for its own use, on land adjacent to the school site and on other farming land owned by the project. At weekends and on public holidays, the children who live in the children’s home assist with the planting, care of the land and the harvest, and thereby learn how to cultivate crops and care properly for the land. |
