THE RESCUE CENTER
Under the leadership of Project Director, Kintu, and Rescue Center Manager, Thomas, the Rescue Center is a place of hope and restoration. Children come to Okoa directly from the police, local hospitals or the social welfare office and every child is welcomed to Okoa and immediately integrated into the family. Each child has an individualized plan that includes mentors, social workers, care takers, healthcare team, and a plethora of aunts and uncles that love them dearly. No matter how long they are at Okoa, the goal is to help all of the children reach their full potential and to ensure that they know how loved, valued, and treasured they are along the way!
Currently there are 115 children enrolled at the Rescue Center
