Our Mission
About Barn Och Kvinnor Organisation (BOK)
BOK is a women-led, faith-based, non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering marginalised children living with disabilities and orphans living with HIV, marginalised women and widows to live with dignity, hope, and opportunity. We work with children with disabilities, women living with disabilities, mothers of children with disabilities, widows, orphans, and other marginalised communities by addressing barriers to inclusion, education, economic participation, and justice.
Grounded in Christian values, we believe every person is created with inherent worth and deserves equal opportunities to thrive. Through local community-led and sustainable interventions, we promote inclusion, resilience, and lasting social change.
Our work is delivered through five interconnected thematic areas.
