Frequently Asked Question

Can you tell me more about FYO?

FYO is a non-profit Christian-based NGO founded in 2003, whose primary mission is to reach out to families, orphans and street children. We initiate community sustainable projects and programs aimed at uplifting the standard of life in rural communities. We have been accepting international volunteers ever since our founding in 2003. Their main goals are:

To assist rural families to overcome poverty and the hopelessness by easing the financial burden for families who are caring for orphans. To provide an opportunity for financial self sufficiency from which the whole family unit can benefit and by so doing ensure that some of the root-causes of poverty are redressed.

To avoid cultivating aid dependency. This is done by providing the assistance in the form of either a loan or a once-only gift (seed money) for the specific purpose of achieving the goal of self-sufficiency.

To provide education and an opportunity for orphans to grow up in a caring family environment, other than in institutional care.
