You can do anything to raise money. Our fundraisers have done some pretty amazing things to raise money for orphaned and vulnerable children. And they’re thinking of new things to do every day. What will you do?

Whether you want to raise money for your volunteer program fees or general orphanage support, fundraising is a great option. Fundraisers provide necessary support and raise awareness of OSSO's mission and purpose encouraging people to volunteer. A fantastic win-win!
