MARY ERIYA
HOUSE OF REFUGE FOUNDATION
HOW WE STARTED
For a very long time, the founder of Mary Eriya House of Refuge Foundation, Mrs Mary Eriya, had concerns about the situation of orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria but was more urged to act after her visit to Oyo, Ibadan and Iwo, Nigeria in the beginning of 2020. The trip opened her eyes more on the tough conditions that children were forced to live due to conflicts taking away their parents or displacing them. Mary Eriya House of Refuge Foundation was founded to provide orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria a hope that they are not forgotten and will be supported to live a normal life.

Our Programs
Shelter for the weak
Considering that adoption of orphans is not a common practice in this environment, the Mary Eriya House of Refuge Foundation plans to acquire a building to house children who are either orphaned or abandoned to keep them safe.
This will shield them from tough weather conditions and make it easy to monitor and keep them away from abuses
Clothe for the weak
Orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria have no one who look after them and are deprived some of the basis necessities that support daily care. One of such necessities is clothing, and the Mary Eriya House of Refuge Foundation is focused on solving that problem.
Under this program, orphaned and vulnerable children will be supplied with clothing to keep them warm and make sure they do not appear in unpleasant way.
