Foundation

Revd. G.O. Lasehinde1949 – 2023

Nobody who came for help ever left the way they arrived. Twenty-five years. Thousands of students. A home always open.

Their Story

Four rooms.
One fingerprint.

“Nobody who came for help ever left the way they arrived.”

— Baba, as remembered by the family

The Classroom

Twenty-five years at GOMAL

Not to produce graduates — to build people who were grounded, capable, and faith-rooted.

The Marriage

Counsel from a real marriage

Couples sat across from a husband and wife who had actually done the work.

The Open Door

Nobody was ever turned away

Students in crisis, families with nowhere to turn — all of them found room at that table.

The Church

A presence that cannot be replaced

Baba's chair at the front pew has not been filled since he passed. The congregation has not tried.

Baba's chair at the front pew will never be filled by anyone else. We have tried not to replace it.

Revd. Gabriel and Mrs. Margaret Lasehinde — Baba and Mama GOMAL in worship

Baba & Mama GOMAL

Baba found me sleeping in the corridor with my luggage because I had no place to stay. He took me home, gave me a room, and kept me in school for three years. I never asked him how he afforded it.

Adebayo Olatunji

GOMAL, Class of 2007

Mama stayed with me the night before my final paper. I was shaking. She didn't say anything. She just sat there until I fell asleep. I have never forgotten that.

Chidinma Eze

GOMAL, Class of 2012

We nearly separated in 2019. They didn't take sides. They kept asking us questions until we found our own answers. We celebrate eight years next March.

Anonymous

A couple they counselled

Every Sunday, Baba shook my hand like it was the most important thing he had done all week. For me, it was.
