HALAL CHILDREN HOME LAGOS
Our Home
The orphanage currently houses 19 children (7 females, 12 males) aged 2-18 years in a duplex within Omole Phase 1, Ojodu. Over 34 children have passed through the home. The children receive education at private schools, with 4 attending Wamy International Secondary School and 15 at Gem Private School. The home provides weekend Madrasah lessons, twice-weekly counseling sessions, and medical care through Isalu Hospital and specialized pediatric care when needed.
2024 Activities
The home organized monthly meetings, staff training, career days, and fun outings with organizations like Islamic Foundation Tahfeez School, Bab es Salam Orphanage, and Lotus Bank. Notable events included a cataract surgery for one child, a two-week academic break, the 3rd Home Anniversary, and a widows’ outreach.
Challenges
Key challenges include maintaining discipline, securing funding, and the need for expansion to separate male and female children.
Future Plans
The home aims to enhance Islamic education, provide scholarships, launch a mentorship program, and promote life skills training. Plans include constructing a Halal Youth Innovation Hub, expanding vocational training, increasing community involvement, and launching a zakat collection campaign. Additionally, the home will prioritize staff training, child counseling, and extracurricular activities to foster holistic development.
