About us

Our story

Who we are

Lawrence Orphanage Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation established to provide shelter, succour, clothing, emotional care and hope for a better future to orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children in Nigeria.

We cater for children who have lost their parents, children who have been abandoned or surrendered, and children in need of care and protection. Within the home, every child is fed, clothed, educated and nurtured in a caring, faith-filled family environment.

The foundation is led by its Managing Director, Mr Lawrence Ogla, and sustained by the kindness of friends, partners and well-wishers whose gifts are a source of blessings and provisions to the children.

What we provide

  • Safe shelter and a warm bed
  • Daily meals and clean water
  • School fees, uniforms and books
  • Health care and emotional support
  • Spiritual guidance and mentoring
  • A loving family environment

Our Mission

To rescue, rehabilitate and defend orphaned and vulnerable children; to nurture them in a caring, faith-filled family setting; and to provide for their physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs.
