Fundraising has been tough this year with the state of the economy in the west and the war in Ukraine, quite understandably, having an impact on people’s ability to give. However, despite reduced funds Martin and his team at OFHM manage their resources well and continue the building programme at the school.

The ground floor is coping with 80+ children so this next floor development is essential for them to rescue more children from the streets. Thank you for the photos Martin and thank you to those of you who support us so faithfully.
