Omega Global Development
Creating Sustainable Futures, Driven by Faith, Empowering Communities
We have a unique approach to community transformation that focuses on amplifying local voices. We believe that people living in a particular community have the best understanding of the challenges they face and the solutions that will work for them.
OGD seeks to engage local leaders, educators, and community members to co-create solutions tailored to each community's unique needs. This approach leads to lasting change and empowerment of people to take ownership of the solutions and be the agents of change in the community.

OGD's Dedication to Student Success: A Look at Recent Programs and Future Plans
At OGD, we are devoted to providing students with the tools they need to excel in school. In 2023, we took action by supplying school materials to our students in Zambia and introducing Omega Pals. This program allowed students to exchange letters, candy, and school planners with a school in Gerard, Ohio. It was a pilot program and it proved to be highly successful.
We are ecstatic to announce that we have decided to continue the program in the future.
OGD takes pride in assisting churches like this congregation in Rwanda with the reconstruction of their sanctuaries. We know that many of these churches require extensive repairs, and we are pleased to see the initiatives taken by pastors and leaders in addressing the needs of their communities.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with the Nasuti Yange Foundation. Since its inception in 2000, this faith-based organization has been assisting orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda, specifically those on the streets, disabled, refugees, or in the youth justice system. The foundation has supported 120 children to date.
We are excited to join the Nasuti Yange Foundation to bolster our mission of transforming communities and empowering needy children.
