LATEST STORY
When Vision Matters Most: Supporting Rosemika’s Future
Sometimes, the challenges children face aren't always visible at first glance. They appear quietly—in the classroom, in everyday moments and in the small frustrations of not being able to see clearly.
Recently, Mme Soliette shared the story of Rosemika, and how the Okipe family came alongside her with hope.

Every day the children laugh, learn, grow and dream about the future together.
Behind every ordinary day are people around the world quietly praying for them.
Today, we'd love to invite you to become part of that story.
Every prayer is an act of love. Every act of love has a story.
THE OKIPE SHOP
Meet a Practical Need
Every item in the Okipe Shop represents a real need in the lives of the children.
From sacks of rice and beans to school supplies, shoes and everyday essentials, each gift helps provide the practical care that every child deserves.
Choose a practical need you’d like to meet, knowing it will make a real difference in the daily lives of the children.
Every practical act of kindness has a story behind it. Here’s where ours began…
JOURNEY OF A YES
Everything Began with One Simple Yes.
Long before there were family homes…
Before children found safety…
Before anyone else said yes...
There was one simple act of obedience.
One yes.
One step of faith.
Every story since then has grown from that moment.
We'd love to share that journey with you.
Every journey is shaped by the people who walk it together.
FOLLOW ALONG
The Story Continues
Children continue to learn.
Birthdays are celebrated.

Hope continues to grow.
We'd love you to follow the journey as each new chapter unfolds.
Some people simply follow the journey. Others discover they're part of it.
