Transitional Home Sponsorships - Former Street Boys
These former street children are unique children in the transitional period who require extra attention and love. Each of these children are treated on an individual basis and each child has a unique situation. Boys who are in the transitional home are truly in a transitional period so the expenses surrounding these boys will vary depending on the child. Please contact me at [email protected] for further details on how to support these children on a monthly bases. Thank you for your heart and love to stand in the gab 'for the least of these'.

He stayed with his mother and step dad in a one roomed, mud house.

FRANK ODIRO JUNIOR (TH0003)

Frank has three siblings Gerald, Sofia and Madinah who he says stay with his paternal grandmother on Ishaka Road Mbarara.
Frank was born in a dysfunctional family. The dad was a drunkard and they were very poor. He was not going to school. Tired of the situation at Home, he decided to run to Uganda to look for his grandmother and siblings.
On arrival to Mbarara he failed to locate the place due to language barrier as we knew only Swahili. He proceeded to Kampala and he ended up in Kilimamboga Village while looking for employment.
He met a pastor who told him she was willing to take care of him only if she reports to police and gets permission. Frank was later taken to the Probation officers Office in Wakiso, who referred him to African Hearts.
Efforts to find his grandparent in Mbarara were futile as we are hoping to find funding to support our trip to Tanzania to find his family. Frank is interested in going to school ad he says he wants to become a doctor given the opportunity to study.
