What’s OHMH?

One Home Many Hopes is a loving home for orphaned girls in Mtwapa, Kenya. It provides former street children with a nurturing environment, focused schooling and a chance at a healthy and productive life.

Known in Kenya as “Mudzini Kwetu”, One Home Many Hopes is built on the philosophy that education and family support are the most effective ways to lift our children out of they cycle of poverty.

Founded in 2007 by a group of friends scattered across the US and UK, OHMH is a great model of how ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Last November, OHMH raised over $40,000 in 30 days during a remarkable month of fundraising as part of the Race to 20K competition.
