About the Founder
My name is Evangelist Audu Ismaila, a missionary and the founder of Shelter in Christ Orphanage Home.
My journey of faith has deeply shaped my passion for service, compassion, and commitment to caring for vulnerable children and families. Inspired by the transforming love of Christ, I committed my life to providing hope, dignity, and opportunity for those who have been forgotten by society.
"Today, that vision lives through Shelter in Christ Orphanage Home."

The Community We Serve
We operate in Gbagyi Villa, a marginalized community facing severe infrastructure challenges.
Infrastructure Deficit
Gbagyi Villa lacks good road networks, making access to the outside world difficult for residents.
No Clean Water
Residents struggle daily to access safe, potable water, leading to health issues.
Unstable Electricity
Power supply is rare, affecting safety at night and the viability of small businesses.
Demolition Threats
The area was previously listed for demolition, creating deep fear for widows and families.
Our Solemn Vow
Despite the lack of government hospitals and schools, and the fear caused by demolition threats...
"...we remain committed to being a light and a lifeline to this community."
We envision a future where every child has access to quality education, healthcare, and a meaningful future.
