Our mission is to give hope and secure the future of children who have been cast aside by society. Through holistic care, education, and faith, we empower them to overcome adversity.
Vision:
Hope Emmanuel Foundation / Hope Emmanuel Orphanage aspires to be a global model of excellence in orphan care. Through prayer, love, and unwavering support, we strive to set a new standard for how children in need are cared for and empowered.
Our History
Since our founding, Hope Emmanuel Foundation / Hope Emmanuel Orphanage has created a home where children are not only housed but deeply nurtured—emotionally, spiritually, and academically. We care for each child until they graduate from college, vocational school, or establish independence. Our goal is to raise responsible, confident, and self-sufficient adults who can give back to society.
Our Story
In October 2010, the vision for what is now Hope Emmanuel Foundation / Hope Emmanuel Orphanage was born through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We were called to respond to the urgent needs of abandoned and vulnerable children, some left in hospitals or public places with no one to care for them.
With support from the Osun State Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Children Services, construction began in 2015. On October 17, 2018, our orphanage in Ilesha, Osun State, Nigeria, was dedicated and officially opened.
That same day, a newborn—later named Baby Mercy—was found abandoned in a public restroom and brought to us. Though there was an accident en route to the orphanage, Mercy was miraculously unharmed and became our first child. She later found a loving adoptive home at 5 months old. Mercy’s story represents our mission—restoring life and love where it has been lost.
We currently care for children aged 0 to 13 years old.
