Together We Can Make a Difference
Overcomer’s Caring Ministries (OCM) is a Christian community-based charitable organization transforming the lives of vulnerable and needy children in the Kibera slums of Nairobi through rescue, holistic rehabilitation and education. Established in 1999 by church leaders who witnessed the desperate need experienced by many children in their community, OCM has gone on to rescue hundreds of children who are now leading productive and fulfilling lives. Overcomer’s Caring Ministries is a home of love and hope for children who have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, neglected, as well as those affected or infected with HIV and AIDS. We minister to orphans and children who come from families in dire need, regardless of their religion, sex, color or tribe. OCM provides our students with necessities such as food, shelter, clothing, education, medical care, and spiritual guidance so they can discover their God-given potential and purpose in life, and are empowered to raise themselves and their families out of poverty. Overflow Ministries Group was blessed with the opportunity to meet with these amazing children and teachers and have committed to supporting them in any way we can. We greatly appreciate your support and generosity to help us continue to make a difference in the lives of these deserving children! Every one of them wants to grow up and be able to help others that are less fortunate as they know first hand what a difference it can make! |  |

**We currently have 14 students that have been accepted but need a sponsor for tuition. The 1st term starts April 25th. We are happy to share the bios and photos if you are interested in sponsoring a specific student. Thank you!! 🙏 High School - the students of OCM work very hard and study to get their grades up so they can be accepted into a high school, but they don’t have the money to cover the tuition. Your support will help cover tuition, school supplies, and meals while they are attending school. OCM Students - the government does not cover any of the costs to operate the school, rent, internet, teachers, food, medical supplies, and uniforms are all covered by donations. For $750/year you can cover all costs for one student, and allow us to accept more children into the school.
Help us give the children a desk of their own to learn at and store their personal items in.
Help us cloth the students so they are comfortable and warm when they are learning. We need a total of 107 and have been able to purchase 53 sets so far thanks to our generous donors.
This is the first time the students of the school have ever seen or touched a computer. We have brought in a teacher 2 x a week to help teach them how to use them. They have graciously donated their time, we just need to cover the cost of transportation.
We have been able to purchase 6 computers so far (along with a printer/scanner and projector). These are a powerful tool to help the students learn and enable them to access additional resources that can’t be learned through books alone. Our goal is to purchase at least 4 more to allow more time per student.
We are so happy we have been able to move the students into a safe building with space for them to learn and sleep (20% of the students are orphans that live in the school). Any help to cover these costs is greatly appreciated!
