  1. The team visited Eghosa Orphanage Home, Benin City, delivering food provisions including rice, flour and noodles, alongside school materials. The home cares for motherless, orphaned and underprivileged children. Key needs identified: infant formula, school fees, medical emergency support and emergency transportation. The Foundation has committed to funding the full educational journey of two children at the home from their current year through secondary school. Consent and formal agreements are being finalised.

Every child deserves to be fed, to learn, and to feel that someone believes in their future. For the children at Eghosa Orphanage Home, this visit is our way of showing up — practically and personally.

In August 2026, a team from Mark Ihonre Foundation will visit Eghosa Orphanage Home to deliver food provisions and a full set of school materials to the children in residence. Beyond the practical supplies, we will spend time directly with the children, assessing their educational needs and putting in place support to help them keep up with their studies and reach their potential.

What we are bringing

  • Food provisions to supplement the home’s supplies
  • School bags, notebooks, pens and essential learning materials
  • Direct educational assessment and support for children who need it most

What we hope to achieve

A child who is fed and equipped to learn is a child who can dream. Our visit to Eghosa Orphanage Home is the beginning of an ongoing relationship — not a one-off delivery, but the start of sustained support for the children there.
