100% of donations go toward helping orphans and widows through practical care, including shelter, food, education, medicine and essential support.

Since 2022, all monetary donations for this work have come from the Sindayigaya family, totaling $9,525. Growing needs now exceed what one family can manage, and OWAID invites others to help.

OWAID supports orphaned and vulnerable children, widows and displaced families, with a focus on refugee communities in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania and war-affected families in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

OWAID was founded in 2025 by the Venant and Joan Sindayigaya family and is based in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Its support reaches families in East and Central Africa.
