What We Do
Orphan Village Africa in Madoro Village
OVA in South Sudan circa 2008 & 2011
In 2008 John Dermezian founded OVA’s South Sudan Division to educate and care for the children of Madoro Village in Enzo.
Mission Land Rover
We wouldn’t have journeyed 400-miles to some of the most far-reaching and cut-off lands of the region had it not been for the steadfastness of this vehicle, lent to us by Emmanuel, and handled by the ever-efficient Daniel.
Madoro Gets its First Water Pump
We went through hoops to get the pump to the village. It travelled from Kampala—where it was purchased—and was delivered to us in Juba. It was then stored in Yambio, where it awaits its installation in Madoro. Just one last hoop before the village gets to have clean water.
School Teachers Get Books
Six school teachers are able to start a library after they are supplied with books. The school in Madoro can hardly be called a building and the supplies remain scarce. However, where there are people, there is a community and that is all the incentive one needs to hope for a better, brighter future for these kids.
Meet the Madoro Orphans
Justin, Jackson, Marta, Victoria, John, Moses, and Denis. Seven of the 105 known orphans of Madoro pose for a photo. All cared for by their grandparents, their future is no more uncertain.
AthleticoMadoro
Sponsored by supporters back in the UK, Madoro’s very own football team shows off its new kit.

Orphan Village Africa: The Yambio Chapter
OVA Extends a Helping Hand to Yambio Orphans
Yambio is a living, breathing example of how a little water is all a flower needs to grow into its own.
The buds you see here are thriving, blooming, and going to school. They are having as normal a childhood as can be in Yambio, and they couldn’t be happier.
