- About me:
- Initially the organization assisted widows only, to identify and implement solutions to a variety of problems confronting women in Onura during the war. Local training and other projects promoting the conditions of widows were initiated. Since its inception Mr. William Ochieng and Ms. Linda Acen re – started HOPE Ofiriha in 2006. They broadened its original purpose and began to encompass projects beyond those narrowly aimed at widow’s training. The organization subsequently embarked to promote the issues affecting women, young girls, and children as a whole in the marginalized communities within Magwi County Sudan.
Mr. Ochieng and Ms. Acen have an interest in the marginalized Lofiriha people and in particular the area, the women, young girls, and school children around Onura where the organization is based. Mr. Ochieng brings a broad commercial experience to HOPE Ofiriha after having run his own business for several years in Uganda. Ms. Acen has an administrative background from Juba University. Putting together their skills has meant that the Organization has developed into an efficient and well run organization. They are realists, not idealists, and believe in giving a hand up, not a hand out!

Help rock the cradle at the G8
On 25 June, G8 leaders will meet to sign on to a new maternal and child health initiative to help the 8.8 million children and 300,000 women who still die each year from preventable illness, childbirth and
pregnancy.
In many places these deaths could be prevented simply by giving these women the
support of a trained community health worker, and a childbirth delivery bed.
No mother about to give birth or caring for a sick child should be without
support.

WOMEN FACE SERIOUS MARGINALIZATION IN MAGWI COUNTY OF SUDAN.
When I arrived at the village of Onura in rural southern Sudan, I was shocked by what I saw. Mothers in labour had nothing, but unclean health centre without staff
or hot water for support.
For these women, traveling to a hospital which is 55km away is impossible because there are no pave roads. Mothers and babies are
dying during delivery at very high rate
