Restoring Identity,
Rebuilding Destiny.

Ineza Heart exists to rescue, raise, and educate children who have been found with no ancestral trace. We are not just a shelter; we are a bridge to a new identity.

Children playing together

Who We Serve

Our primary focus is on children abandoned without known relatives. These children often face the crisis of having no name, no history, and no social protection. We step in to be their family from A to Z.

Our Protection Principles

We operate with strict adherence to legal and ethical child protection standards. Every child is registered, provided legal identity, and safeguarded against exploitation while we seek permanent family solutions.

What Guides Us

Our values are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Love

We believe love is the most powerful medicine for healing trauma.

Community

It takes a village. We build strong ties with the local community.

Integrity

We are transparent, accountable, and honest in all our actions.

Hope

We nurture optimism and the belief that tomorrow can be better.
