Our Partners

OHFI works in part­ner­ship with local Chris­t­ian people and organ­i­sa­tions to nurture and encour­age fam­i­lies, regard­less of ethnic, cul­tural, and reli­gious back­grounds. It believes that such part­ner­ships con­tribute strongly towards chil­dren finding love and secu­rity within com­mit­ted fam­i­lies and communities.

Rwanda

OHFI part­nered with PHARP-Rwanda (Peace­build­ing, Healing and Rec­on­cil­i­a­tion Pro­gramme)) in 2009 to care for, and protect, vul­ner­a­ble chil­dren.

Our work in Zambia is broad in scope, and covers a range of projects that are vital for improv­ing the health and edu­ca­tion of local people.

Uganda

OHFI’s work in Mafudu seeks to empower local fam­i­lies by giving them the skills and resources they need to learn sus­tain­able and suc­cess­ful farming prac­tices. With many chal­lenges around health, edu­ca­tion, and the quality of land and tools, it is crit­i­cal to provide local people with new skills for the longer term, so they can in turn empower their chil­dren with the knowl­edge they need to bring pos­i­tive change.

Manipur, North-East India

Manipur was where OHFI’s work first began, in 1991. It emerged out of a request from our Manipur Direc­tors, Pastor Athang Touthang and Mariam Touthang for train­ing in the care and pro­tec­tion of vul­ner­a­ble chil­dren, and assis­tance in helping fam­i­lies break out of a cycle of poverty and ignorance.
