Peculiar Saint Orphanage and Special Center is more than just a facility—it’s a haven of hope, care, and transformation for children in need. Established with compassion and a firm belief in the inherent worth of every child, our center is dedicated to nurturing orphans, homeless babies, and children whose parents are unable to care for them. We also extend our care to children with special needs, ensuring that every child, regardless of circumstance, receives the love and support they deserve.
Founded by Mrs. Olamide Turner—a visionary leader with deep roots in Lagos and a passion for social welfare—Peculiar Saint Orphanage was created to address the urgent needs of vulnerable children. Originating from Oju Olobun on Lagos Island, Mrs. Turner has combined her personal experiences and professional training, including a certificate in cerebral palsy from the United Kingdom, to build a nurturing environment where every child can flourish.
Over the years, our center has grown into a vibrant community that champions the cause of children in need. Through perseverance, dedication, and the unwavering support of our partners and volunteers, we have transformed countless lives, providing stability, education, and hope for a brighter future.
Our Mission
We are committed to delivering professional care, love, and comprehensive emotional support to children and families in need. Our mission is to create a safe, stable, and empowering environment where every child experiences a genuine sense of belonging and is equipped to achieve their fullest potential.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive. By supporting orphans and homeless babies, we strive to ignite positive change—not only in Lagos but around the globe—transforming lives one child at a time.
Our work is guided by a set of core values that define who we are and how we serve our community:
At our center, we provide a comprehensive range of services designed to support every aspect of a child’s development. From offering residential care that provides a stable home environment to facilitating specialized programs for children with disabilities—such as cerebral palsy and autism—we are dedicated to ensuring that each child’s unique needs are met. Through educational support, healthcare initiatives, and life-skills training, we empower our children to build a foundation for a successful future.
Our partnership with Nobelova Gradini further enhances our services by providing expert support in neuro-developmental assessment, physiotherapy, and behavior analysis, ensuring that our children receive holistic care tailored to their specific needs.
At the helm of our organization is Mrs. Olamide Turner, whose leadership and compassion inspire our entire team. Supported by a multidisciplinary group of professionals—including certified specialists, healthcare providers, social workers, and dedicated caregivers—we work collaboratively to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
Every story of transformation begins with a single step. We invite you to learn more about our journey, support our mission, or get involved in making a difference.
