Little Saints' house was built with intense dedication by the founder and her husband with the help of a number of compassionate friends in and around Lagos. Akowonjo Branch for Boys: situated at 10 Ayinde Bisi Close (Blessing Gate) off Gani Animashaun Street, Akowonjo, Dopemu, Lagos. It is referred to as the Main orphanage because it was the first hostel facility to be built by the Mission. This is the Little Saints House or hostel for the boys and their Nannies.

It is a 200 bed Hostel equipped with standard facilities. It runs a small administrative team of cleaners, cooks, nannies and missionaries to take care of every need of the children under the supervision of an Administrator. A visit will convince you that they are getting the best of care that love can inspire. Ogudu Branch for girls: situated in Ogudu Garden Valley G.R.A. This is a Home donated to the Little Saints by the CEO of Fourscore homes, Mr. Femi Osibona in 2005. It is occupied by our girls and their nannies. Like the Akowonjo Branch of the Orphanage for Boys, it runs a small staff of cooks, washers, and volunteers under the supervision of an Administrator. Abule-Egba branch is the complex also for our Family Relief Centre of the Strong Tower Mission - an affiliate of Little Saints Orphanage .This arm of the ministry offers Small Scale Business Support to the Widows as well as distribution of food to hundreds of needy people on regular basis. The Little Saints House in this complex is a special house for our objects of love. i.e children with physical and mental challenges. They include the Sufferers of different ailments and other physical conditions hence the special demand for extra care. They are cared for by special Nannies and administrators. Little Saints Orphanage Vision 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 benefitted 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.
