Who we are
A caring home built from compassion
Ryvanz-Mia Childcare began when Madam Regina Esime Djentuh, affectionately known as Mama Esi, opened her heart and home to vulnerable children who needed protection, belonging, and opportunity.
What began as one family's response to hardship and personal loss grew into a registered nonprofit serving children and families through childcare, education, feeding, healthcare, foster support, mentoring, youth development, and sustainable farming.
