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
of the orphanage home.
