Mission

Every year, millions of children under five die from preventable causes like diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria. And for every child that dies, even more, are permanently separated from their families and institutionalized in orphanages because of their fragile conditions. Our mission at OVI is to create a world where no child is abandoned or neglected due to illness or lack of resources for care. From our base, the OVI Children's Hospital in Migori, Kenya, we pioneer a new way of treating and caring for vulnerable children that we plan to introduce across Africa and Asia. The OVI team is 100% locally staffed with fifty Kenyan medical professionals, and a support staff intentionally made up of adult orphans, widows, and marginalized community members.
