John & Jesma O'Hara

In 2006 John and Jesma we met Kitale Family House of Hope directors Edward and Nancy Khaoya during a visit to Kenya. The relationship developed resulted in the establishment of Kitale Family House of Hope children’s home, a teen mum’s rescue centre, Hope Academy and farming and sustainability measures. Thousands of lives have been transformed and young people have been given hope for a brighter future through our partnership.

Every day, I wake up with a simple yet profound motto: "our children, Our future." The future, as I see it, is a bright one. I believe that nurturing the dreams of these children is not just our responsibility but a sacred duty. That is why I am honored to be part of the team that acts as beacon of hope for orphaned and vulnerable children by giving them rescuing them, giving shelter, rehabilitating, and reintegrating these young souls into a loving family environment.
