The mission of the organisation is to improve the livelihood of the orphans and disabled children in the area. The vision is to do this by offering free education and health care to the orphans and disabled children, whilst also coaching personal skills to help the children reach their full potential.

The project is run on a day-to-day basis by the NODICEF Chairlady, Mama Tecla Lyenga, with the assistance of voluntary helpers. Mama Tecla is a Primary School Teacher (Grade A) with Special Education skills training for disabled people. Mama Tecla teaches disabled children in the mornings at the government school and uses her salary to feed and clothe the orphans in the Ebenezer Orphanage (currently 26 housed in her own home). The orphans, together with other local children from poor families who are unable to acquire school education, are taught free in nursery and primary education at the NODICEF school.
