| Evangelist Ebokhaisomi Bello is the Proprietor, Christ Family Orphanage Home, Agenebode in Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State. The orphanage home caters for children who are physically/mentally challenged. She recently opened a school for the physically challenged, along side the orphanage home, to help educate the children in her home as well as for the general public to bring in their physically challenged children for proper education, since they are in the rural area and can not easily access schools far away. |
