Orphans for Christ in Africa

"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the right of the poor and oppressed", Ps. 82:3 

Orphans for Christ in Africa (OCA) is a   not-for-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) whose purpose is to provide holistic care and support to orphans, disadvantaged children and youth and their communities in Uganda. We seek to  provide education, shelter, feeding programs, clothing, health care, life skills and vocational training, HIV/AIDS care and support, spiritual nourishment and educational sponsorships to orphans, vulnerable disadvantaged children aged 2-12 years, and disadvantaged youth aged 13-17 years, both  boys and girls.  To realize this goal, OCA seeks to work in partnership with individuals, families, groups, communities, churches, organizations, companies, friends and wel-wishers from all over the world, to implement child-focused, community oriented programs and projects that benefit all disadvantaged children and youth, regardless of gender, race, religion, political affiliation or disability .


Computer Skills Training

OCA plans to relocate the Computer Skill Training Centre to a new and more spacious facility within Kampala City.  This will enable us to expand our services by taking in more orphaned youth for the Computer Skills Training Program, as well as provide Internet Services, which will help the program eventually become self-supporting, and raise additional revenue to support the orphans.

 Tororo Children's Home

OCA has set up a new orphanage in the Tororo area of Uganda. The Home will house children OCA has been supporting for the last couple of years. The new home will provide a loving and caring environment where the children will be nourished under the loving care of OCA staff and volunteers, and they will have an opportunity to attend school. We at OCA are asking for your help to enable us fulfill our commitment to the children. We are calling upon individuals, families, groups, churches, organizations, companies, volunteers, friends and well-wishers, from far and near, to consider supporting these children, most of whom have lost one or both parents due to HIV/AIDS, and have no mature adult to care for them. The Home is aimed at improving the lives of the most impoverished orphan children and in the Tororo area of eastern Uganda.

We  are asking friends and well-wishers to consider supporting OCA's efforts to rescue orphaned children with financial or material gift or both, to enable OCA care for these children. Please consider supporting Tororo Children's Home with a financial or in-kind donation of any size. Tororo Children's Home

We are also looking for volunteers to help with childcare and teaching at our Children's Home in Tororo. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail, phone or post.

To date, Uganda remains one of the sub-Saharan African countries most affected by the AIDS Pandemic.  With a staggering 3 million AIDS orphans with many new cases of HIV infection, nearly everyone in our country and city knows someone who has been affected by AIDS in some way — at home, work, school or place of worship
