About Us
OCF is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the holistic development and well-being of children.

We also focus on the spiritual growth of children through evangelism and Christian mentorship programs.

CHILD EVNAGELSIM
In the first 1 month of its operation “Organization for child fellowship” did an assessment of existing child programmes in the region to discover structured interventions of young people in that area. The team from “OCF” visited some schools, churches, homes to learn about the involvement of children in the things of God. In these visits most of the principals and teachers voiced the need to build up moral uprightness in children since they are the future and also motivate them to take part in the things of God. Some educators expressed their concerns and difficulties in mobilizing these young ones for religious activities.
From our study, we decided to get the gospel to these children anywhere they find themselves. Thus provide a platform where they can have the gospel every day and not only on Sundays as a way to build them up in the things of God properly. Also most of these kids have talents or potentials that when helped to develop, can help bring out a meaning in their lives.
As it was written that God has given each of you gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
1 Peter 4:10-11​
