OBIMI CIC Supports Families of Disabled Children in Lagos

OBIMI CIC, a UK-based community organization founded by Helen Ewumi, conducted an outreach in Lagos to support families of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The initiative brought together around 100 families to share experiences and raise awareness about disability and stigma.

Families received food hampers and clothing, while children at a special school were given school bags and stationery to aid their learning. The outreach emphasized the importance of understanding, respect, and support for families with children with disabilities.

Helen Ewumi, a qualified social worker and parent of children with disabilities, highlighted the significance of connecting with families and communities in Lagos. OBIMI CIC expressed gratitude to families, school staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters who contributed to the outreach, with hopes of continuing to build connections and raise awareness for children with disabilities and their families.
