Our Story
A Divine Calling
Ofure Orphanage was established following a divine call to "Go out there, gather the children, shelter and feed them." What began as a response to this spiritual directive has grown into a sanctuary of hope for vulnerable children.
For over 10 years, we have been committed to providing not just a home, but a foundation of faith, discipline, and love that empowers children to overcome their circumstances and thrive.
Our name "Ofure" reflects our mission to offer a place where children can find healing, purpose, and the opportunity to grow into their full potential as contributing members of society.
