Welfare of the Orphans

Treating every child with utmost love and care

The welfare of orphans is treated with the utmost love and care. Children are provided with delicious, nutritious meals, comfortable clothing, and a safe, clean environment where they feel valued and respected.

Every aspect of their daily life—from meals to health and education—is thoughtfully managed to ensure they grow in happiness, confidence, and dignity. The Academy is not just a school; it is truly a home filled with warmth, compassion, and family love.

Founder's Quote

“These children are not orphans to me—they are my children, my family, and my greatest responsibility. Their smiles are my joy, and their success is my pride.” — Alh. Ummarun Kwabo (Jarman Sokoto)

Our Success Stories

From Fear to Confidence
