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.

What People Say

"When I first came to Ofure Orphanage three years ago, I struggled with reading and was falling behind in school. The tutors here spent extra time with me every evening, and now I'm one of the top students in my class. I've discovered my love for mathematics and dream of becoming an engineer someday."

"After losing my parents, I felt so alone and angry at the world. The staff at Ofure Orphanage showed me patience and love when I needed it most. Through the daily devotions and prayer times, I've found peace and a sense of purpose. I now help the younger children adjust when they first arrive, sharing with them the same comfort I received."

GE

Grace E.

Resident, Age 16

"I've been volunteering at Ofure Orphanage for the past two years, teaching music once a week. The transformation I've witnessed in these children is nothing short of miraculous. Many arrive withdrawn and hesitant, but through the nurturing environment and faith-based approach, they blossom into confident, joyful individuals. What makes Ofure special is how they address not just physical needs, but spiritual and emotional healing as well."
