OLG is located inside LEA Primary school opposite Oando filling station, Alex Ekwueme Way, Jabi, Abuja FCT in Nigeria. It was formed in Port Harcourt in 2006 but registered 25th of October, 2007 to provide help to children with special needs. This was a result of impressive improvement seen in a family member of the Izuwah who had moderate-severe Autism with Attention deficit hyperactive disorder, sensory processing disorder and learning disability. This disorder spurred the family into acquiring massive and continual training in order to recover this child and help Nigerian children suffering from a similar ailment. OLG Abuja began in June 2012 on the relocation of Dr Izuwah and family to Abuja while OLG Owerri started in 2015 in Owerri. OLG now has over 70 children it works with on a daily/weekly basis and over 50 staff.
