A Beacon of Hope in Port Harcourt

Divine Benevolent Care Orphanage

In the heart of our community here in Port Harcourt, and reaching across Nigeria, countless children face vulnerability due to the loss of parents, extreme poverty, health crises, or other challenging circumstances.

Recognizing this profound need, Divine Benevolent Care Organization operates the Divine Benevolent Care Orphanage, a safe and nurturing home dedicated to these children.

More Than Just Shelter: A Place to Thrive

Our orphanage is founded on the principle that every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential. We provide far more than just a roof over their heads; we offer a holistic environment where children receive:

Quality Education: Access to schooling, learning materials, and support to ensure they don’t miss out on the vital foundation education provides.

Comprehensive Healthcare: Regular health check-ups, necessary medical treatments, preventative care (like immunizations), and immediate attention to illnesses, ensuring their physical well-being.

Consistent Food and Nutrition: Nutritious meals provided daily to support healthy growth and development, combating malnutrition which remains a challenge for many vulnerable children in the region.

Safety and Protection: A secure environment free from harm, with dedicated caregivers ensuring their safety and upholding their rights.

Psycho-social Support: Emotional care, counseling (where needed), and a supportive family-like atmosphere to help children heal from trauma, build resilience, and develop healthy social skills.

Extending Shelter: Supporting Vulnerable Widows

Our commitment to providing shelter also extends, where possible, to supporting ‘widows indeed’ – those who are truly destitute and lack safe housing. DBCO recognizes that stable housing is fundamental to rebuilding lives and seeks to assist vulnerable widows in urban and rural communities whose homes may be dilapidated or non-existent.

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” This philosophy drives our commitment to ensuring the children in our care have access to all the basic needs essential for a dignified and hopeful life.

The Divine Benevolent Care Orphanage stands as a testament to our dedication to protecting and nurturing the most vulnerable, offering a foundation of care, stability, and opportunity for children to grow into healthy, educated, and empowered individuals.
