About Us

HISTORY

Williams Yirenkyi (Founder)

 Following his passion and desire, Mr. Williams Yirenkyi developed an idea to care for children who urgently need help and founded GLOVO in July 2009. Due to incidents of mishandling of children at certain orphanage homes in the community and the fact, that not only orphans should be supported by the organisation’s welfare programs, Mr. Yirenkyi was advised to find another way to exercise control over the children’s situation, look for new families for them and monitor their way of living in general so that the children can feel a sense of belonging to their biological home
