OGKCO Only God Knows Charity
About us

A grassroots answer to a systemic problem

OGKCO began in Ntabamhloshana, Manzini, as a neighbourly response to children shut out of school — and now walks alongside 164 beneficiaries across Eswatini.

Our story

Founded where the need is

Only God Knows Charity Organisation (OGKCO) emerged from the urgent needs facing children in Eswatini, particularly in the Manzini region. Founded in Ntabamhloshana, it is a grassroots response to the poverty that keeps children out of school — unpaid fees, missing uniforms, and homes without basic necessities.

The organisation has been operating systematically since 2024, run by a small team of volunteers who visit chiefdoms and schools, document each child's situation, and respond directly. The name reflects its faith-based roots: the conviction that meeting needs this large takes divine guidance combined with human effort.

Mission & vision

What we are here to do

OGKCO is dedicated to supporting underprivileged children and vulnerable families in Eswatini by providing:

  • Educational empowerment — removing financial barriers to school, including fees, uniforms and supplies
  • Material support — food, clothing and toiletries for families in need
  • Holistic care — attending to children's physical, emotional and spiritual well-being
  • Special needs support — specialised assistance for children with disabilities and their families
  • Poverty alleviation — breaking generational cycles of poverty through education

The future we are working toward

We envision an Eswatini where every child can attend school regardless of their family's circumstances:

  • Universal educational access — no child kept home by unpaid fees
  • Dignified living — children with the basics they need to live and learn with dignity
  • Community empowerment — communities strengthened through education and mutual support
  • Sustainable change — educated children lifting their own families out of poverty
Our values

How we work

Compassion

We see each child as an individual with unique needs and potential — never a number on a list.

Transparency

Published bank details, regular public updates, and open communication with donors and communities.

Accountability

Detailed beneficiary records, documentation of every distribution, and honest impact measurement.

Community-centred

We work directly with families, schools, chiefdoms and local leaders, respecting cultural practices.

Holistic approach

A child's needs are interconnected — we address education, nutrition, clothing and care together.

Faith-based foundation

We operate with faith-based values, pairing spiritual encouragement with practical, material help.
