Nigeria's Most Complete Orphanage Directory

Nigeria is home to an estimated 17.5 million orphaned children — more than any other country in the world. Despite this, finding verified, contactable orphanages remains incredibly difficult for donors, volunteers, and welfare organisations.

Every orphanage listed here is reviewed for registration status, physical address, and active contact details before being marked verified. Partner orphanagesgo through further review as part of NextGem Foundation's active programme partnerships — including formal endorsements from Bayelsa State government ministries.
