Since the ministry began to date Huruma has produced more than 10 graduates in Tertiary education (degree/diploma courses). Furthermore, through the sponsorship programme we have also been able to assist more than 200 orphaned and destitute children through primary and high school education. These young adults represent the fulfillment of Huruma’s mission: “To empower children in need to become productive members of society through rehabilitation, education and self-reliance skills.” We are extremely grateful to everyone who have helped make these success stories possible.
Below are some of the success stories that we believe are living testimonies of the goodness and faithfulness of our God.
