The Faces of Mel Haven
Each smile tells a story of hope, care, and transformation. These are the children whose lives are being changed through love, support, and community. At Mel Haven, we don’t just provide shelter — we build a family where every child has the chance to grow and thrive.
Our Outreach
A joyful gathering where children come together to learn about God’s love through Bible stories, songs, fun activities, and games. Our mission is to nurture young hearts with faith, kindness, and hope while building lasting friendships in a safe and caring environment.
This foundation is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Adedoyin Gbuyiro (1987–2023), whose compassion and vision continue to shape everything we do. Her legacy lives on in every child we serve.
