Alphonce Oginga lost his father and mother as a child. He was able to finish his schooling because he was sponsored by the Christian Children’s Fund so that his school fees were paid. Alphonce’s PATHWAYS project is to help provide a source of income for the community members through poultry rearing. His project also involves tree planting to reduce soil erosion and improve crop productivity. Alphonce expresses, “I believe that I owe so much to this society and I have good plans for it. I shall give back to it more than it has given me.”
