INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH

African Connection – Help My School/Hospital is our African Initiative – African continent is the poorest continent in the whole world. This can be attributed to diseases and lack of education. Our foundation called “African Connection” will help fund education; equip hospitals with supplies one village or town at a time. We will also provide help in other areas like Health education. My visits to some of these schools and hospitals in West Africa no doubt magnified the urgency for every one who can to continue to bring help in the area of education, and medical supplies to Africa. Continuous collaboration with individuals and other NGOs to provide, clean water, mosquito nets, education on healthy living, etc. no doubt in the long run, will lead to a better and healthy Africa, thereby eliminating untimely deaths. This of course will enable children to live long like their counterparts in other parts of the world, and ROHFII is committed to help.

Our Founder

Ann Uwakolam is a wife, mother, a graduate of Strayer University and a minister who is dedicated to helping those in need. An individual with burning desire to effect change in the lives of people going through hardship both in her community and around the world. Following her convictions she began donating gifts to The Children’s Hospital in DC. Soon it had become a yearly tradition delivering toys on Christmas Eve.

After learning of several students in need of financial resources, Ann began to do whatever she could to help them. Having seen what her little could do, Ann wasn’t satisfied. The desire to reach more people beyond her capability is why Ray of Hope Foundation International, Inc (ROHFII) was established. At ROHFII we are committed to providing Hope, New Beginning and Dreams Fulfilled.
