Who we are

A home for children who have nowhere else to turn

Charity Home Foundation is a registered non-profit organization caring for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children in Rivers State, Nigeria. Since 2011, we've provided shelter, education, nutrition and emotional support to children who would otherwise have no one.

We're not an institution that warehouses children — we're a family. Every home is run by trained house-parents, every child stays in school, and every case is followed through to independence.

Our Mission

To provide safe shelter, quality education and consistent care to orphaned and vulnerable children until they can stand on their own.

Our Vision

A generation of formerly vulnerable children who grow up secure, educated, and equipped to give back to their communities.

Our Values

Dignity, transparency, family, and the belief that every child deserves to be known and loved by name.
