What We Do
We Help Orphaned & Abandoned Kids Around the World!
Our current efforts are focused in Kenya:
Horizons Foundation, with partner Go Ye Ministries (GYM*), created the legal Kenyan charity “New Life Covenant & Power Ministries” (NLCPM).
We help provide a home for over 65 kids (through NLCPM)
and so far have started these businesses in Kenya:
-A gas station and convenience store
-A farm, named Jehovah Jireh
Our local partner in Kenya is Bishop Washington Ayugi.
He directs the orphanage, named Bartholomew Children’s Family.

A Message from Our Founder
In 1996, Al and Charlotte Lockhart created a charitable foundation called Horizons Foundation. Through the generosity of donors in the United States, and by working with reliable partners in different countries, hundreds of kids have been rescued from the streets. They have been given a safe and secure home where they can learn about God’s love for them.
