UOCC is in legal terms an orphanage, but it doesn’t look like any other orphanage. It’s a family, therefore we treat every child as part of a big family. Instead of pushing them out when they’re 18, as required by law, we will provide them with another home, a transition home. Here they can begin learning to live more independently with adult responsibilities as they attend university or trade school, begin working in their field and once they earn enough money to provide for themselves, send them off to live productive lives. 

 

We have completed the acquisition of a total of 4 plots of land to give adequate space for the Transition Home, Guesthouse and other potential spaces for gardens and/small businesses.

 

This home will be designed to serve as part guest house, part apartments/dormitories. The young adults will both work in the guest house to earn their keep and earn some income under the direction and supervision of Daniel Kanu, director of UOCC. There will also be a garden that will need to be maintained.

 

It is imperative that the land gets developed and the buildings built as soon as possible in order to move all the teens 18 and older over to the transition home per government regulations.

 

Stats (out of the 74 children currently in our care):

 

• Currently 11 girls, 18+

 

• Currently 15 boys, 18+

 

• 6 attending university, 2 of whom are support staff now

 

• 3 new students will be attending university beginning Jan 2024
