Echoes of Mercy and Hope Foundation is a non-governmental organization registered in Nigeria (NO 51770) by the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the 12th of April, 2012. And today we celebrate our 9 year anniversary.
Echoes Of Mercy and Hope Foundation Girls Home has indeed been an exciting work, especially in 2022 where our incredible team of staff helped find the girls jobs to keep them busy and educated while the University strike was going on.
Additionally, 2 of our girls successfully graduated from secondary school and were able to find jobs because of our dedicated sponsors.
Furthermore, we took in 3 new girls in 2022, and truly all this has been possible because of all of our wonderful supporters who have been there to hold our hands during this process. Even now as we look to 2023 and the future, we know we are not alone because God has raised helpers along the way to encourage us in shaping the lives of these young women.
This is why we write to you today in plea of continuing this advocacy for these young girls. We currently have 20 girls only as we cannot afford to take in more girls but by next year, we are trusting God to do bigger things by taking on an additional 5-8 girls. We aim to raise 11m this year to go towards schooling, feeding, salaries, maintenance for a total of 20 girls and we hope you will help us.
Our motto has always been, “together we can change the world,” and we strongly believe that with God’s help and your support, nothing is impossible.
