I am Kenyan by birth. During my childhood I spent most of my time taking care of our family livestock. I became a teacher in 2018 after high school and the joy of seeing children developing from one stage to another created a very meaningful impact in me. I learned to love and serve them as my own children. Later in 2020, I was given the opportunity to serve as a missionary in Liberia and learned new cultures and to serve different people in different ways. I was given the opportunity to gain gospel knowledge that still remains with me. Afterwards, I earned an Accounting and Management Certificate at KCA University Nairobi, Kenya.
The joy and the passion to continue serving people has been lifted up as I join Family Humanitarian. The work we do to help communities get clean and safe water for drinking creates smiling faces in many people. I enjoy being around people and serving them through Family Humanitarian. The greatest treasures I have are the people around me.

Helping people is a big part of who I am. I find a real sense of gratification in being able to serve, lift, and help others while being a part of Family Humanitarian efforts. Some of the best reasons for working with Family Humanitarian are that it is a great opportunity to bless lives and help our communities thrive. Our people are being helped through Family Humanitarian by strengthening present and future generations and producing a culture of greater self-reliance. Providing clean water and educating children is such a vital part of improving lives.
Before I worked for Family Humanitarian I worked in broiler and laying chicken projects. Then I worked for another foundation that allowed me to get to know the leaders of Family Humanitarian. FH is making an important contribution to nutrition, education, and infrastructure through the construction of classrooms for schools and clinics. The clinics allow community members to have access to better infrastructure conditions. With the construction of desks the children in the schools have a place to sit and be able to write. The cultural exchange has also allowed the children who accompany their parents on the expedition to notice the difficulties of children in low-income communities and has allowed our children to start dreaming that there is a better way to live. Personally, it has allowed me to continue in the process of preparing myself educationally by finishing the Pathway Connect program at Brigham Young University. I hope to continue until I achieve a degree.
I was born and raised in Accra, Ghana. I am the second of five children. I first came in contact with the current Chairman and Co-Founder/Executive Director Sheldon Killpak and Michaela Shirley in the year 2020. For more than three years I have looked forward to working with and being a part of the life-changing efforts of Family Humanitarian. In January 2023, I visited some of the completed and ongoing water and school projects in the Northern Region of Ghana. I served as a missionary in Uganda. I enjoy cooking, singing, listening to music, and road trips. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Business Management through the pathways program of Brigham Young University-Idaho.
I was born in Mbale and raised in different regions of Uganda. For the first three years of elementary school, I schooled under mango trees. Teachers were available, and a black chalk board was pinned on mango tree. No desks were available, so all the kids had to seat on the ground. Whenever it rained or was windy that marked the end of lessons for the day. Every morning before school I would walk 4km to collect dirty stream water which was the only water source in the community.
I love working for Family Humanitarian experience because I believe we show our love to God through serving his Children. One of the authors in the scriptures mentioned, “When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God.” Is a great joy when I see good samaritans rendering services to the community. Family Humanitarian experience has helped my people to have good water in the community. It has reduced the rate of typhoid diseases in my country, and FH has provided good learning environment for students by offering structures.
Today I am so grateful for the great work FH is doing. May God bless all those who donate for this work to continue and those who are faithfully helping in the service.
Thanks with much love, Andrew Ochom.
Before I began working for Family Humanitarian I was volunteering in the villages as a team coordinator to teach people to take care of their lives and survive certain diseases. I love the work Family Humanitarian does. I was born in the village. I grew up in the village. I saw and I went through the hardship of finding clean sources of drinking water. I have a heart for serving my people. I have always hoped that someday I could be an instrument to change their lives. Working with Family Humanitarian fulfills my dream. That love I have from growing up wanting to save my dear brothers and sisters who are going through the same challenges that I went through. Family Humanitarian is really blessing my people. It is a way that we can save them from water borne diseases. When you look at the communities around where I live and the country at large most of the diseases my people encounter is waterborne disease because they get their water from the pond where they share with the animals. Getting clean water is improving people’s lives and their life expectancy because so many people die from cholera and so many people die from typhoid. It is really expensive when people get these diseases. Avoiding getting these diseases by drinking clean water helps their families to save money because so much money goes to treat these diseases. I really enjoy working with Family Humanitarian because it is really saving people’s lives. Thank you so much!
I am from Kenya, but I am currently working in Uganda. I love working for Family Humanitarian because there is joy in doing good and that’s how I feel every day when I visit communities that have received help and those awaiting support in getting clean drinking water. Water is life! I have come to understand it’s also a precious commodity. If you have access to running water kindly don’t take it for granted. Give Thanks! Family Humanitarian has been a great blessing to my people, and it has impacted their lives. When people have access to clean water, kids get time to play, instead of walking many kilometers to get water. Mothers can enjoy their free time knowing they don’t have to walk long hours and wake up as early as 4am to get to water before the animals get there and it gets dirty. For sure God blesses His people. FHE has brought joy to many. I love seeing happy mother’s and kids and happy communities.
I was born and raised in a humble family in Kenya. I am married to Maria Mukendi. We currently live in Uganda. I served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the West Africa, Ghana Kumasi Mission. In 2019, while doing my online diploma in Work Health and Safety, I had the privileged to work at the Ghana Missionary Training Center as a Gospel and Swahili Teacher. My service in the MTC paved the way for me to see others the same way God sees them. I refer to it as “meeting God halfway,” doing your part and letting God do the rest. When we do our part, it helps God to transform lives.
I have a strong impression that my experiences prepared me to be part of a great Family Humanitarian team. It helped me recognize the potential people have within to transform their lives to a better version. Many children struggle to get enough time to learn because most of their time is spent searching for water. Getting an education becomes impossible. With Family Humanitarian helping and supporting, communities can receive access to safe and clean water for drinking. Children have enough time to study, and parents have adequate time to be become self-reliant through adult literacy training offered by Family Humanitarian. It all starts with safe and clean water. That can unite communities together to eradicate poverty.
