The Foundress

Mother Nwokocha Onyemenonu Isbel(Esq.)

The Institute of the Sisters of the Compassionate Heart of Christ, (SCHC), is a Secular Institute of Consecrated Life, a providential Foundation, born and fuelled by an overwhelming passion to share the compassion of Christ with humanity.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has chosen me to bring the Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save His people.” – Luke 4: 18. (This is the beginning, the motivating force, the pivot around which our Divinely mandated Ministry of Compassion, revolves)

Work of Compassion

Donate to support our work of compassion

We therefore, call on good hearted people who are willing and available, to partner with us in giving hope, love and joy to the hopeless, loveless, homeless, suffering, poor Jesus in our brothers and sisters, our children (the orphans and motherless, for whom we have special programmes to ensure they experience a loving, healthy home), street children, "our parents" (the abandoned, sick, aged and dieing), the homeless poor and helpless.

Come and be part of this Clarion call of Christ, to give Him just a cup of water and quench His thirst and patched throat.

Our Projects & Projections

Because of the nature of our mission and our ardent desire to positively and effectively touch the lives of our Masters, we live with them right in our houses. We would also want to accommodate as many of them as possible, but we are financially constrained.

Apart from those we live with in our houses, we have a lot of the suffering poor we reach out to in their different homes. Those on the streets, we bring them in. Wherever we find them, we go to them and joyfully and humbly serve them in different capacities.

The Srs break open their lives in diversified services-- firstly, we give legal aid to the poor and unjustly treated, within and outside the prisons, being the voice of the voiceless (advocacy), educational, medical, social, pastoral, counselling and apostolic activities.

Presently, we have a COMPASSIONATE HOME for the orphans, destitutes, childless couples/single men and women who are old and sickly with no one to care for them. We also established a school, where most of our pupils are indigent.
