Our Team
Simone Batchadji Njei
Simone Batchadji Njei is the founder of Manjo Children’s Home and Fruit De L'Amour De Christ (FAC). She was born in Cameroon to a broken family. Abandoned by her birth mother at the age of three, she was a victim of abuse and injustice. These experiences left her with a silent, wounded heart and led her to seek love and security in all the wrong places. Not until her adult years would Simone come to know Jesus as her Savior and for the first time feel loved.
She was then able to break the silence of her struggles without fear of rejection. Knowing her identity in Christ gave her a purpose in life and led her to this mission: “Share His love with others." With her purpose in mind, she is eager to provide a place where children in need can grow up knowing they are safe and loved through a personal relationship with GOD.
