InnerCity Mission was birthed in December 2004 after the Founder, Rev Chris Oyakhilome (D.Sc., D.D.), the President of LoveWorld Inc, made a profound statement “Every Child is your Child”.

The Innercity Mission for children went on to be registered in Nigeria in the year 2005 with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Abuja, RC No CAC/IT/NO 41931.We are a faith-based, Non-Governmental Organization in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Believing in the future of indigent children and taking action to reach and meet their needs is one of our CORE.

Believing in the future of indigent children and taking action to reach and meet their needs is one of our CORE.

Over the years, our programs and interventions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)have impacted the lives of over 20 million indigent beneficiaries mostly children around the world in underserved, hard-to-reach communities, from one country in 2005, to over 60 countries in 2020.

Remember, every child is your child! Help children, don’t ignore children. They are our extension, they are our future. No matter how dirty or untouchable they are, think again, one day you were just that small, but you were fortunate to have someone help you, many of these are fortunate to have us if we would only open our hearts, our minds, our eyes and ignore them no more. We need to help give them a home, we need to help give them an education, we need to help cloth them. As small as they are, as needy as they are, as frustrated as they are, they have dreams, we can help make those dreams come true

Rev Dr Chris Oyakhilome (D.Sc., D.D.) 2004

But Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven
Matthew 19:14 KJV
