This Easter, Hope Lives in Families

Children in Olturoto have shared what Easter means to them - love, family, belonging, and hope. With your support, more children can grow up in safe and stable families.

What Easter Looks Like Through a Child’s Eyes

To mark Easter, children at Olturoto Children’s Village have created ‘Hope Cards’ with simple and honest messages about what matters most to them.

Hope grows
Easter brings peace
Easter joy
Easter together
Love and kindness
Our hope is alive
“During Easter, my family has hope and love.”
“Easter brings peace, love, and happiness.”
“Celebrate Easter with kindness and a smile.”

To these children, these are not just words but a reflection of something deeper: what every child deserves. Children deserve a sense of belonging, the safety of a family, and the stability to grow up healthy, loved, and supported. At Olturoto, this is what we work to protect and rebuild every day.

From Hope to Home

Most children do not need institutions; they need support around their families. Through Olturoto, we work with families and communities to:

  • Prevent separation before it happens
  • Support caregivers with livelihoods and stability
  • Reintegrate children safely into family-based care

Because when families are supported, children do not just survive, they thrive.

What Your Support Is Making Possible

  • 85% of children reintegrated into family care or moved to independent living
  • 0 children currently in long-term institutional care at OCV
  • 100+ families supported through livelihoods, parenting support, and community networks
  • 60+ children accessing the after-school programme to learn and grow

From Caregivers

"Every Saturday, I leave home with peace of mind, knowing my child is in a safe and supportive environment. This programme has given our family a sense of stability and hope."
“I’ve seen a real change in my son. He is more curious, eager to learn, and brings new ideas home. It’s inspiring to see him grow with confidence and purpose.”
“This programme has brought new hope into our home. My child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to dream, as a parent, that means everything.”

A Message from Our Founder
