Restoring Dignity, Rebuilding Lives
From compassion to community transformation
MIFRU was born out of lived experience, compassion, and deep commitment. Founder Michael Oketch Omwodo grew up in Migana Village witnessing struggles of orphans, elderly, and vulnerable families.
Simple acts of care began: supporting elderly residents, providing food to vulnerable households, and sponsoring education of orphans.
Work expanded to include children's home, elderly support, community farming, nutrition programs, early childhood care, and education sponsorship.
First sponsored orphans graduated from school—a major milestone symbolizing the heart of MIFRU's mission and the transformation we create.
MIFRU stands as a beacon of hope and restoration in Migana Village, with plans to expand impact through new programs and stronger partnerships.
