Mrs. Opot and I co-founded the JCO Children’s Home and opened the doors to our first 10 kids in 2010 in Sirembe. If you don’t yet know the auspicious beginning of our partnership, take a few moments to watch this video. This was made possible because of of the generous Founders of our home who all came from NWA.
Our goal from the very beginning has always been that every child in our home has the experience of growing up in a loving, close-knit family as opposed to growing up in an institution. During the 15 years since we first opened the doors at the JCO, our role in the community of Sirembe has expanded and deepened considerably and so has the relationship between the communities of Sirembe and Northwest Arkansas. In fact, all of the work we have been able to do in Kenya was made possible by the consistent support of generous individuals and businesses in Northwest Arkansas. Here is an example a just a few of things we have been able to do because of YOUR support:
Through the JCO Children’s Home we have provided over 250,000 healthy, balanced meals
Through our #educate60 campaigns we have provided 1300 scholarships to pay school fees for kids OUTSIDE OF OUR HOME, who otherwise would have had to drop out of high school.
Through our community outreach, we’ve provided a year’s supply of maxipads for girls and young women for over a decade, to the benefit of many thousands of girls.
We’ve collaborated with the local schools in Sirembe AND some awesome Fayetteville Bulldogs to build 6 classrooms, 2 girls’ dormitories, a science lab for the primary and secondary schools
And worked with local leadership in Sirembe and local doctors in NWA—lead by Dr. Scott Bailey to build a maternity ward at the local medical clinic, where more than 1,500 healthy babies have been born to healthy mamas.
And none of this really speaks to—The center of the bullseye for us, the beating heart and soul of everything we do, is the JCO Children’s Home—and the Restore Humanity Scholars Program that has become a natural extension of the JCO. Where dozens and dozens of children have joined our global family(core messa
**Restore Humanity welcomes children who have lost their parents into our JCO Children’s Home, where they receive love, care, and consistency in a safe, nurturing environment. When they graduate from high school, they join the RH Scholars Program, which provides ongoing guidance and support as they pursue college, university, or trade school. We love these kids as our own, and the support we provide for them is all-encompassing and lasts a lifetime.Our alumni have become engineers, entrepreneurs, teachers, electricians, and other professionals — proof that nurturing care and lifelong support can break cycles of poverty and inspire generations. The ripple doesn’t stop with one life — it expands across communities and time. When love and opportunity take root, lives transform. The children we raise grow into compassionate leaders, lifting their families and communities out of poverty.

What we are raising money for $80,000—matching?
What we are going to do next year IF we can raise this money—Outreach, Care for our 16 kids at JCO, provide for our 13? RH scholars, our school. Costs are going up in the US and Kenya as well and we need to raise this money to help us to meet the prices increases and also provide raises for our staff who works so very hard ensure our kiddos (big and small) are truly cared for.
