What it says it does

Our vision is twofold. First, we will strive to raise a generation of orphaned and needy children who will grow up to reach their God given potential. Second, we will empower first world citizens to partner with us in service at home and abroad. Currently we are focused on building Children's Centre and educating children in Kenya. Children sponsored by GOGCP receive education, as education is crucial to the children becoming self-sufficient and ending the cycle of poverty that affects the majority of developing countries. Ensuring continuing education for these children, as well as providing the necessary support to promise all of them a fair and a brighter future. 100% of the GOGCP funds goes directly towards helping the children. Our Centre is built with the dual purpose of caring for orphans and needy children and providing a place for partners to come serve with us on short term mission trips.
