Diary Of A Special Needs Mum Initiative




One day, people living with disabilities in Africa will be allowed to exercise their fundamental human rights



They will be integrated into mainstream schools, economically empowered and accepted in their communities


Our Initiatives

Advocacy

We create awareness about people living with disabilities by sharing the right information about disabilities and people living with disabilities

Counselling

We counsel parents who have children with special needs. We direct them to government hospitals to get the right diagnosis for their children. We also encourage them (based on the diagnosis) to seek for therapy for their children.

Empowerment

A lot of mothers are unable to work outside the home because of caring for their disabled children. On the other hand, caring for a child living with disability is very expensive in Africa especially Nigeria. To this regard, we train mothers in basic skill acquisition and also business skills so that they can in turn make an income to care for their families. We also mentor women so as to have a guide in living successful lives.

Training

1. Career and Entrepreneurship training for adults living with disabilities
