Organization for Orphans’ Support in Education, Needs and Talents (OOSENT) is an organization formed driven by people with a passion to see children succeed. At the time of its inception, OOSENT members believed that the future of this country and our lives is dependent upon our children. Each child is born with an incredible gift that adds value to our nation, giving us a brighter future, but only if natured well. Nurturing these gifts however becomes a problem when there is no one to nature and give direction to the child. That is especially in the case of children who have been orphaned by death or otherwise. A person’s success is usually dependent on his or her background. Most orphans have poor unstable backgrounds lacking in academic, and social education, basic needs like food, shelter, clothing and unmarketed talents. OOSENT believes in a three-way support that is education, needs and talents. OOSENT therefore seeks to be a “parent in type” that will bridge this gap or provide substance to this vacuum awarding each child a fair opportunity to succeed in life
