This organization is a non-profit is a Hope Restoration Christian Community Based Organization (CBO).
FOUNDING:
This organization was founded in February 2019 by Musisi Gerald who grew up in a poor and needy family, became an orphan, an abandoned child. Pastor Nangoli Jimmy, known as
Pastor Sureman, was his guide through this time.
At its founding, Elahiston had 13 children, 6 boys and 7 girls. As of now we have a total of 46 needy orphans and village children. We hope to help more children in the future through this program.
Currently, the children stay in the program from the time of registration for up to 7 years, unless contradictions are discovered in their registration, or they don’t comply with the policies.
The seven-year limit is determined currently by finances. We hope to add on the years when we get more financial support.
