Our Leadership

A Note from Founder and CEO

Hilda Odanga Founder & CEO

Hello, my name is Hilda Odanga. My journey to founding this organization was shaped by both my professional work and a deep conviction of faith. Over the years, I had the opportunity to visit communities to verify the real impact of public resources on people’s lives. These encounters moved beyond reports and numbers and became deeply personal when I came face to face with an abandoned girl rescued from early marriage. Far from home and with very little, she clung to education as her only hope for a different future. That moment changed me.

As a sponsor to five children, I have personally experienced the joy and responsibility of walking alongside vulnerable children; holding their hands, encouraging their dreams, and responding to their immediate needs. Yet, over time, I have came to understand that individual acts of kindness, while meaningful, were not enough to create lasting change. Poverty, vulnerability, and injustice require collective action, long-term commitment, and accountable stewardship.

Guided by my Christian faith, this organization was founded to work alongside communities in a way that restores dignity, protects children, and builds sustainable futures. Our programmes focus on education, child protection, and community empowerment, grounded in integrity, transparency, and partnership with local leaders. We serve all people regardless of faith, ethnicity, or background, as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love.

Our vision is simple but bold: to see a transformed society where all children and youth have equitable access to quality education, skills, and opportunities to achieve their full potential. I invite you to walk this journey with us - to be part of a meaningful, lasting change for children and youth whose voices are too often unheard.

About Our Founder

Meet Founder

As the Founder and CEO of The Borne Community Network, I am driven to see every child and young person achieve their full potential, especially those from the most vulnerable families. My career journey led me to this purpose, and it was out of that calling that The Borne Community Network was founded. For over a decade, I have provided oversight of public resources across various government departments, a role that shaped my commitment to integrity, accountability, and faithful stewardship. Guided by my Christian faith and a deep love for people, I consider it a blessing to serve, working alongside communities to protect children, restore dignity, and create opportunities for lasting transformation.
