Since 1995
Our Foundress
Born from Compassion, Sustained by Faith
Founded in 1995 by Mother Onomoresoa Agatha Selo-Ojeme, Anawim Homes began with a singular calling: to search out the most vulnerable and abandoned human beings in Nigeria and provide them with unconditional love, shelter, and care.
“Let me give, because I do not know for how long I shall live. The poorest of the poor are God's beloved children, and no one should die unloved.”
— Mother Onomoresoa Agatha Selo-Ojeme
