Every generation no doubt has its daunting problems. Some of the problems that have survived civilization and advancement in technology especially in Africa are those child neglect and abandonment,destitution, prostitution etc. This situation indeed is overwhelming in our society, it calls for urgent selfless approach. It is therefore the answer to this call for a solution to these problems that a young nun offered herself.

Sr Oresoa Selo-Ojeme arrived Gwagwalada Abuja in Nigeria in 1995. Not at invitation of any individual, group or authority, but was driven by the obsession to live out the desire the lord God has planted in her hearth. She was in search of an inner fulfillment of a disturbing filial cord with destitute, helpless street children and the broken hearted. To fend for them, console them, to be their sister to love them, to pray fervently for them.

In 1995, Anawim Home began in a rented apartment at Phase One in Gwagwalada Abuja Nigeria. The center immediately became a Home for destitute, street boys, abandoned babies, unwanted pregnant young girls, prostitutes etc. These people were provided shelter, food, clothing and Medicare.

As years went by, the number of inmates grew geometrically, it became a daunting task for the coordinator of the center, Sr.Oresoa to provide their basic needs. Without any means of transportation of her own, she bestrides and gave her support to the Home. This is evident for the movement of the Home from a rented apartment to a permanent location Dagiri- Gwagwalada along Kaduna-Lokoja Express Way

Anawim home has also rescued the poorest of the poor in other parts of the country such as Kaduna State, Edo State and other areas of Africa, Yendi in Ghana. May God reward her effort Amen.
