Includes

My name is Jack, a social entrepreneur, a social worker and a volunteer as well

With the aim to promote education for orphans & vulnerable children, I work with a social enterprise called OAC Kenya ( Tours & Crafts ) and a nonprofit Community Based Organization called KCOOP

My social enterprise offers voluntary services by linking up volunteers with charity schools and orphanages

The booking fees from this experience help in paying school fees and buying some school supplies for orphans and vulnerable children in my community

I lost both parents when I was only 9 years old and growing up a total orphan made me passionate about helping less fortunate kids

I am now looking for like minded individuals, enterprises or organisations for partnership to enable me to help more kids
