Pastor Oyediji who is also a community leader and National Secretary of Association of Orphanage and Home Operators in Nigeria, ASOHON, said that they provide not just houses but homes where love is shared without any discrimination of race, tribe and religion. Oyediji said that they have a crop of seasoned and volunteer experienced social workers providing adequate care for the children in the home as well as psycho-social support for them.
The director of the home explained that their major goal was to see every child in their care fulfill their destiny and to achieve that they work with the Lagos State Government and its agencies to achieve the goal.
