XOXO Cameroon was founded by brothers Bobby (11) and Jack (9) after learning about the daily challenges faced by children at Rainbow Orphanage in Mamfe, Cameroon.
What started as small used-goods drives in their Newport Beach neighborhood turned into a mission focused on long-term, sustainable solutions. For three years, they organized collection efforts, sorted donations, and shipped supplies overseas. As they learned more, they realized clean water was the orphanage's most pressing need.
Rather than stop at temporary relief, they committed to building infrastructure. Not charity. Permanence.
In 2026, through grassroots fundraising and the support of their community, XOXO Cameroon raised enough to begin construction of a borehole well. Once completed, 65 children will have reliable daily access to clean water.
XOXO Cameroon focuses on practical projects that create lasting improvements for children at Rainbow Orphanage.
Through grassroots fundraising and community support, the organization has funded the drilling of a borehole well and construction of a water tower. The concrete framework is nearing completion, with solar-powered pump installation to follow.
The next phase: building an educational center where children can learn, study, and access resources that support their long-term growth.
Access to clean water and education are two of the most powerful ways to change a child's future. At Rainbow Orphanage in Mamfe, limited infrastructure has made daily life more difficult and access to learning less consistent.
XOXO Cameroon was founded on a simple belief: addressing these basic needs can change the trajectory of a child's life. Clean water improves health and daily stability. Education creates pathways to independence.
Our goal goes beyond funding projects. We aim to build sustainable systems that give children consistent access to the resources they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
Clean water was the foundation. The vision goes further.
These initiatives are designed to work together: physical health, education, technology access, and community stability.
