    Das Kinderheim wird von Tinumeren und Aosenla Imchen Ozukum geleitet. Tinumeren Ozukum ist der offizielle Leiter des Waisenhauses. Zusammen mit seiner Frau dienen die beiden den Kindern als Ersatzeltern. Obwohl sie einen eigenen Sohn haben, Arlen, wollen sie keinen Unterschied zwischen den Kindern machen. Sie lieben und kümmern sich um die Waisen als wären es ihre eigenen Kinder.

    Tinumeren Ozukum: "Im Januar kam der Leiter des Eliezer Kinderheims auf unsere Familie zu und fragte uns, ob sich unsere Familie vorstellen könnte, die Verantwortung für das Eliezer Kinderheim zu übernehmen. Das war für uns Gottes Ruf, der uns auffoderte diesen Dienst zu übernehmen. Zu dieser Zeit war ich selbst in Deutschland und meine Frau war mit meinem einmonatigen Sohn zu Hause in Indien. Wir hatten bis dahin keine finanzielle Unterstützung und sind gerade selbst so über die Runden gekommen. Ganz nüchtern gesehen war es für unsere Familie eingentlich unmöglich diese Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Wir waren aber berührt von den Erzählungen und Erlebnissen dieser Kinder. Viele von ihnen litten Folter, Hunger und Erniedrigung bevor sie in unser Zuhause gebracht wurden.."
