Our Story
Built on a Mother's Refusal
Built on a Mother's Refusal
to Look Away
On April 20, 1995, Anawim Homes opened its doors not as an institution, but as a family. Founded by Mother Onomoresoa Agatha Selo-Ojeme through the Association for the Poorest of the Poor, the work has grown into a refuge for abandoned children, the homeless, the mentally ill, and marginalised women.
We believe every human life carries infinite worth, regardless of social class, tribe, religion, or condition. Our work is not charity alone. It is the restoration of dignity.
Mission
To restore the dignity of the oppressed and the poor through education, healthcare, shelter, and sustainable development.
Vision
A world where everyone has access to basic needs, education, and opportunity regardless of background.
"The vision burns right inside my heart, and until I accomplish God's desire, I will not rest."
Mother Onomoresoa Agatha Selo-Ojeme, Foundress
