Why Us? Learn More About Our Story
Our Orphanage home has put countless smiles on the children's faces over the years. This is the motivation behind our progress.
About Us
Our orphanage is a residential institution devoted to the care of orphans—children whose biological
parents are deceased or otherwise unable or unwilling to care for them.
Biological parents, and
sometimes
biological grandparents, are legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of
these,
no
named godparent, or other relatives willing to care for the children, they become a ward of the state,
and
orphanages are one way of providing for their care, housing and education.
- The mission is to take care of the less privilege and the downtrodden, training them from early child care development to pre-nursery primary, secondary to the University Level.
- The vision is giving lives a meaning, making them useful to themselves, to their communities and to the entire Nation and also develops them morally, physically and academically.

Child Adoption & Fostering
Adoption is an act of love. It must come from a desire to love a child. It must be motivated by our love for God and humanity. It must be because we want to raise a child for God as a demonstration of our love. Every child is a gift from God.

About The Founder
Mrs M.O Oyarekhua
Meet our distinguished founder who is also the Chairman of the board of trustees of Mercy
orphanage Benin.
She is from Edo North - Etsako West Local Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria.
With an
illustrious career as a seasoned educator, she began
the
journey of establishing
this organization in August 2016.
She has her B.Ed. from the prestigious University of Benin, coupled with her NCE from Ekiadolo.
Her passion for providing a loving and nurturing environment for underprivileged children led her
to start the orphanage
home, which began with just three children and a nanny.
As a result of her tireless efforts
and
dedication, the
population of the orphanage home has grown to 25 children, with some currently writing their WAEC,
while others are in
SS1 and JSS1.
The orphanage also caters to toddlers and primary school children.
The organization is registered with the local government, state government, and the community,
with certifications from
notable bodies such as EFCC, SCUML, Certificate of Budget and Planning, and CAC. Her experience as
a former director in
Subeb has given her a wealth of knowledge and expertise in managing and overseeing the operations
