About Us
Little Saints Orphanage is a divine haven for Orphans,
Abused and Abandoned children, It was the first non-
governmental indigenous orphanage approved by the
Lagos state government. Since inception on the 4th of
June 1994, more than a thousand children have
benefited from the programmes of the orphanage.
Today over a hundred children with their nannies
reside in four branches of the orphanage.
Little Saints orphanage has a three-tier programme for
the children: Rehabilitation, Reformation and
Reintegration.
REHABILITATION: The first objective is to take
abandoned children off the streets and give them a
befitting home. The little saints orphanage structurally
is a haven in every measure. The children and babies
are rehabilitated under the most conducive conditions
with unconditional love and excellent care. Our vision
is capital intensive because we initiate and build
rehabilitation centers. The hostel within these centers
is called "LITTLE SAINTS HOUSE" for orphans, abused
and abandoned children brought into the mission
through the police or good Samaritans. Little saints
house is home away from home for our precious
saints.
REFORMATION: This is done through Education and
extra curricular activities. Education is the best
investment in children. The mission is determined to
help the little saints as far as they want go to in their
pursuit of academic excellence. All Little Saints go to
schools located around the orphanage. Presently we
have some of them in universities.
RE-INTEGRATION: They are reintegrated into society
through adoption and fostering to deserving and loving
families. There is also reconciliation to extended family
members. We work in collaboration with the Lagos
State Ministry of youths, sports and social development
on fostering and adoption issues. So far the exercise
has yielded great results. In the beginning we
appealed through the media for Nigerians to come
forward to adopt but as at today the orphanage has a
waiting list of adopters yearning for children!
One of our greatest achievements is the impact we
have made on adoption by raising the rate of adoption
in Lagos State and by enforcing through interaction
and motivation the procedures for adoption.
The best service one can render to God is to raise up a
child in his name to walk in his ways. God is the first to
have adopted. He adopted us into his heavenly family
through his son Jesus Christ! This is why we must do
the same and take every single child away from the
streets into the security of a Godly home.
It is still unbelievable that a mother would carry a
baby for nine months and after going through the near
death experience of giving birth she decides to throw
the baby in a pit or dump the baby in a dustbin. Our
first abandoned baby was brought to the orphanage in
a polythene bag. We were shocked! Today that baby is
enjoying the love and comfort of a loving family
through adoption. Presently, all Babies in Little Saints
Orphanage get adopted within a few months. Glory to
God!
Little saints' orphanage does not charge a single naira
for adoption. Ours is a call to serve humanity.
The next step for Nigerians to take is towards fostering
on a larger scale . We hope to improve on this in our
next stage of impact. When children are brought to us
from the streets we seek out extended families for
reconciliation, some times we find them but most
times we don't.
We have BIG dreams...
The objective of the vision is to erase the stigma
attached to the orphan status and to create a leverage
of equality for these group of children with their peers
in the world, irrespective of the unfortunate
circumstances they were born into. We dream of a
greater Nigeria devoid of street beggars, street children
and homeless women laboring for crumbs. We dream
of beautiful and well equipped rehabilitation centers
for the needy.
We dream of having compassionate leaders who will
ensure that every citizen has a chance to a good
standard of life.
Strong tower mission and Little saints Orphanage is
praying and working out these dreams through various
laudable projects and humanitarian activities.
With regards to funding, the orphanage depends on
placement of collection boxes in public places, musical
concerts, fund raising events, as well as financial and
material donations from the founders, trustees,
compassionate citizens and organizations.
We invite everyone to pay a visit to the children of the
Little saints' orphanage. The children are wonderful to
behold. Their laughter, their tender touch, and their
whispers of love and appreciation will stir up
tenderness and compassion in anyone.
We appeal to all our friends and patrons for total
commitment to give regular donations, to attend our
programmes and to visit the little saints. your presence
gives the vision a boost all the time!
