Using his social media channels, Ochieng is appealing to family, friends and fans to join him in supporting this cause and make a tax deductible donation at: <Mario Primary School>
” I am calling on all of you who have provided me with support and encouragement throughout my struggle against poverty to join forces with me now, said Ochieng.
Hope Ofiriha and Trolltech Foundation announced their partnership last year to fund the construction of the school to offer Omilling children who are at risk of being separated from education due to the cycle of poverty.
” Across the Africa youngest nation, too many children are struggling without necessary means to survive. many are separated from their parents by the fighting or injured in the crossfire, “said Carolyn Miles, Save the children’s president and CEO. The support of donors like Trolltech Foundation is critical as it enables Hope Ofiriha builds schools to return children to normalcy again.
Since the outbreak of violence in December 2013, the conflict has intensified and displaced more than 1 million people. If the fighting continues, more than half of the South Sudanese population will be in need of humanitarian aid by the end of this year, according to the United Nations.
