OPERATION GIVE & GROW (OGG)
Operation Give and Grow
It was during our famine missions within the Coast Province that Faith Evangelistic Ministry realized that temporary humanitarian relief would not overcome the longer term challenge of providing sustainability to the needy in the area. It was at this point that Operation Give and Grow (OGG) was born.
Established as registered NGO, the overall functions of OGG are to offer practical solutions and interventions to create self-sustaining livelihoods, both in overseeing new projects in the established areas of FEM, but also to break new ground to develop and facilitate economic empowerment nationwide.
A primary focus remains the Coast Province, whose dire situation created this compassionate initiative. OGG has established a feeding Centre where more than 400 needy and destitute children are provided food daily. Other children have been enrolled in primary and secondary schools, their potential uncovered and their dreams of university nurtured. it is noteworthy that a large number of the children who have completed secondary school under OGG have also graduated from technical colleges and universities in various fields such as, Clinical Medicine, Finance and strategy, Education, Law, Computer Science , food and nutrition, community health, welding and fabrication, Marine engineering, Beauty therapy, Plant engineering and Hospitality
The fulfillment of their dreams of achieving a decent livelihood is our delight. The platform on which FEM stands bears witness to the many lives that have been transformed by means of breathing love and hope to humanity. The hand of kindness has not only reached people in their masses, but also to individuals, whose lives have experienced a renaissance after coming into contact with the organization.
Shelter a Child
Through “Operation Give and Grow (OGG),” We envisage to putting up a permanent home in the half acre property we have already purchased at Kikambala, Kilifi County for the orphans, the homeless and the vulnerable children, so that they can find a place of refuge, in a drive dubbed “Shelter a Child.” .This is in pursuit to provide long term care to vulnerable children. The programme currently has 8 beneficiaries who are fully supported with food, shelter, clothing and education.
With OGG registered at IHC Dubai, Shelter a child programme recently received a recognition award for its humanitarian impact on vulnerable children.
