What an opportunity to give a child an education for a head start in life. Our prospective children lives in slum areas and come from very poor and disadvantaged families. We invite you to sponsor them on an annual term and be part in building their future.

Your donation and sponsorship will go a long way for them to achieve their dreams, otherwise impossible without your help.
Outreach Program
Step out of your comfort zone as we invite you to participate in one of our outreach programs. As you join us in closely interacting with the poor in their cramped living spaces, be prepared to be moved. We implement 9 core programs ensuring your donations goes straight to the poor and less being spent on administration or red tape. Because Oikos also lives with the poor, we conduct daily outreach products including conversing with them, providing ministries, food distribution and advice.

This photo takes us back many years ago when a fire broke out in New Smokey Mountain.
The following are the notes from Maureen Ho, Resource Director of OHHs.
“Last Saturday 21st September 2013 at around 12 midnight, a fire broke out at New Smokey Mountain. It was put out only about 2:30am. Most of the houses in Block 5 (For those of you who had been to NSM, it is in front of the Korean Church) had burnt to the ground including that of one of Oikos staff, Jhoy. One of our Agape Gentlemen, Ruben Santos suffered 3rd degree burnt all over his body. He is now in the government Philippine General Hospital. Sadly, 2 children died in the fire.
According to the ground, the fire started when one couple was quarreling & the wife & in her anger threw a lighted candle at her husband. Out of about 250 families who were affected, about 220 of them are attending OHH ministries. Now, most of these victims are seeking shelter at a Basketball Court outside NSM. We thank God we managed to cook a meal for them. Then we distributed used clothes.
Some families who had some money saved started rebuilding their homes but most need help to get them on their feet again. We don’t know if & how humanitarian help will be coming, but we will pray and believe. Please pray that assistance in any form will come quickly”
