About Us
Who we are
Home of Glory Alone CBO is a Non-Governmental Organization registered
in 2021 under Kenya’s Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, department
of Social Development.
Home of Glory Alone CBO Foundation East Africa was founded in 2012 as a
community-based organization and registered with the Ministry of East
Africa Community, Labor and Social Protection under the Department of
Social Development. It was established to ensure that it implements and
sustains programs that improve access to better health, education, and
lifesaving services now and for future generations. Our vision is a nation in
which every child attains the right to survival, protection, education,
development, and participation.
Home of Glory Alone fosters a dignified and protected life for children who
have fallen victim to the scourge of destitution, solitude, and are at risk of
HIV/AIDS. We aim to bring opportunity and hope to some of the most
abused and vulnerable children in Seme East Reru and Kisumu County at
large. Home of Glory Alone Orphanage is fully registered and incorporated
by the National NGO board under 03165 as its registration number.
With the population of Kenya estimated at 50 million persons and population growth rate of 3.2 percent per annum and more than half below 18 years, the country is immensely affected by overdependence, which stifles development (KBS, 2019). As a result, the wellbeing of such a population is affected through problems of poverty, low resource base that puts significant pressure on the delivery of basic social services, particularly to children; demand for food, healthcare and education services is growing while access to education and healthcare services at the community level remains limited more so in the slum areas where this project seeks to be initiated. Primary school retention remains a challenge for the Government due to high dropout rates.
Consequently, the transition rate from primary to post-primary and tertiary levels has been low and very few children are now likely to complete primary and continue to higher levels of education. The Orphans and Vulnerable Children Situation Analysis Report, 2009 estimated that nearly half (48%) of all Kenya orphans are a result of HIV/AIDS. Up to 43% of all children (7.3 million) live in a moderately vulnerable situation, while 8 % (1.3 million) live in a critically vulnerable situation. Approximately 14 percent of children in Kenya below 18 years of age are orphans, among those, 20 percent of children 6–17 years are orphans. Even if the fresh HIV infections ceased today, the population already infected constitutes a massive potential for swelling the number of orphans in the country. Kenya communities have traditionally absorbed orphans within the extended family system

I am George Otieno Owino, I am 39 years of age, happily married to one wife and blessed with Two beautiful Daughter . I am born in a humble family that struggled through life to make ends meet. At the age of 8yrs, my life became unbearable after I lost a parent in a fatal road accident. Some years later, I was rendered homeless and ended up on the streets of Kisumu, slept on the streets and staved for food. This was the darkest chapter of my life. I fell into the wrong group and survived on alcohol when city council and police pounced on me, landing me in an orphanage where life was much better. This changed my entire life for good and made me who I am today.
My desire has always been to excel in life and bring change to my family both immediate and extended. As I grew, the burning desire to change the life of others and make them better has been engrained in me and therefore I strive to improve the lives of the vulnerable individuals and the less privileged in the society by ensuring that their rights are advocated for.
I am Miss Carolyne George, I am in charge of coordinating and improving the international and external operations of the organization. I ensure that our programs align with the orgainization’s strategic plan.
