My passion for growth and a keen eye for visual storytelling capture our vision as we continue to empower the youth. We have successfully developed five computer labs and are starting our sixth project in collaboration with partners from various industries and disciplines. Additionally, we are covering tuition costs for students to support their educational journey further.

New Direction for 2025/2026 - Tuition Support STEM Students
This year's project will focus on providing financial support to STEM students by covering their school fees for a full academic year. This new focus will allow us to closely monitor and foster the educational progress of these students without the burden of tuition costs. As of January 2025, OHFKO has assisted over 20 students by paying their tuition fees. The first semester is covered; however, two more semesters still need to be paid for. Our objective for 2026 is to double the number of students we support and continue increasing it yearly.
