Our Impact
Care and Protection
BOHCI ensures that children facing hardship, whether due to poverty, disability, or social vulnerability, receive the support they need to thrive. Through provision of basic needs, psycho-social care, life-skills training, and access to education, we protect children from neglect and exploitation while empowering them to grow with confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.
Inclusion & Dignity
We work to break down barriers that prevent children with disabilities from participating fully in their communities. By providing mobility support, adaptive learning opportunities, and inclusive programs, BOHCI promotes equality and respect, ensuring that every child is seen, valued, and able to shine with dignity.
Strong Families & Communities
BOHCI recognizes that children thrive best within strong families and supportive communities. We engage parents, caregivers, and community leaders through awareness programs, training, and counseling to enhance parenting skills, strengthen family bonds, and build community capacity to care for vulnerable children sustainably.
Volunteers & Partners
Our impact is multiplied through collaboration. BOHCI’s network of dedicated volunteers, community champions, and partner organizations enables us to reach more children, implement programs effectively, and mobilize resources efficiently. This growing network ensures that support for vulnerable children is coordinated, reliable, and far-reaching.
Our Numbers that Speak
We have numbers that push us to give in our best and make sure that we break our own records. We are happy to be growing and helping more day by day.
