(Learn more about Pastor Ken and his "Royal Kids", and Pastor Sam and "Blessings Hope Centre", by clicking on the "About ACO" link, above

Total Raised: $1450
100% of the donations were taken to Kenya in the form of cash and/or gifts
-
We purchased track suits, arts and crafts supplies to take with us; while in Kitalie we purchased medical supplies
-
We were able to provide some money towards helping one of the older children (Nellie) to reach her goal of going to college. (Learn more about Nellie, by clicking on the "About ACO" link; Nellie is featured in the "All Children Have Dreams" video)
-
While in Kenya, we met and interacted with more than 200 orphaned and impoverished children; witnessed still-waiting-to-be rescued children living on the streets; and we formed friendships with men and women who are working to make a difference.
May, 2015
The journey began with an invitation from Pastor Samuel Wafula. He contacted Connie and asked her to speak at a conference in Kitalie, Kenya, Africa. Over the next few months, through emails and phone calls Connie learned that the conference, which was to be attended by 400+ men and women, would be held at a place called Blessings Hope Centre; a place of refuge for many orphans who had been abandoned to live alone on the dangerous streets. It became clear that it was not just a conference she was called to; Connie and her team were being given an opportunity to help children in need; and the need was great.
As of May 18, 2020, ACO (African Child Outreach) is partnering with FGC and Blessings Hope Mission in order to raise additional funds for our precious children
Partners of ACO from January, 2016 until May 18, 2020 are listed below.
