About Our Children International

OCIC was started in 2019 when we opened our first family-style shelter in Gitega, Burundi after three small children had been left at a local church. The home is led by MUSORE Jean Bosco and NDUWAYO Joselyne. Our family in Gitega accurately named our first home, “Oasis of Joy.”

What we are all about

Our Children International Corp is a nonprofit organization that supports orphaned and vulnerable children worldwide. We provide resources such as food, education, and shelter through family-style care.

Our efforts are currently focused on helping orphaned children in Burundi, a country in Central Africa. Sadly, the majority of the population in Burundi lives in poverty, and over 680,000 orphans face challenges just to get by. We are dedicated to making a difference in their lives.
