Our History
Lady Atinuke Oyindamola Home for The Mentally Challenged was established by Mrs. Elsie Akerele on the 20thn September 2007 in memory of her daughter Late Mrs. Atinuke Nwagbo who survived a fall from a five S storey building as a child who later developed epilepsy as a result of her accident in her early teens.

Today there are more than 75,000 Conferences with over 755,000 members working in 136 countries throughout the world.
The patron Saint of the Society is St. Vincent de Paul. He died 173 years before the Society was founded, but was chosen as Patron because the name of Vincent de Paul is synonymous with Charity, charity or love is the same as saying God, because “God is love.”
The Society is therefore rooted and founded in the love of God.
