We have purchased land and built The Christine Compound in honor and memory of Christine Coté. Christine was a co-founder with her husband (Darren). Christine was the heart and soul of AOO as she was the key worker of this ministry for the first 13 years before passing on to heaven days after her 49th birthday. The Christine Compound stops the moving from place to place and renting, to a permanent home for Rafiki Baby & Toddler Cottage with room for farming. This building has allowed for twice the capacity- giving us the opportunity to care for so many more children! This facility has also been more conveniently located near our support and our other campus, the Ushindi II home.
Childcare related expenses that our sponsorship program covers include the funding for our children's meals, personal supplies & hygiene, mosquito nets, replacement of bedding, medical care and treatment, Christian caregivers (Ushindi & Rafiki), Under 10 Village's rent and Rafiki's lease & utilities.
We have had several children who were a part of our program who were adopted by Kenyan parents.
