Protecting a Child at Every Step
The Quiet Shelter Empowerment Foundation is a registered not-for-profit organization established in August 2020 in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Our primary purpose is to provide humanitarian services to communities, aiming to bring about positive changes and developments.
Our History
Founded in August 2020 amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, QuietShelter Empowerment Foundation emerged from a deep commitment to support vulnerable children and families in Nigeria. Starting in Jimeta, Yola, we began with small-scale initiatives to provide shelter and basic needs, quickly growing into a recognized organization dedicated to sustainable community development. Over the years, we’ve expanded our reach, partnering with local and international stakeholders to address pressing issues like education, sanitation, and gender equity, all while staying true to our roots of compassion and action.
