Whenever we see children with disabilities, we see a great potential.
Why?
Because they carry a great destiny that millions of humans fail to recognize, but clearly visible to those who look deeper with an empathetic heart.
These children are left behind closed doors, struggling without hope,
No proper guidance or
Support to guide them due to Parental discrimination driven by societal stigma!
Yesterday, we went on a journey to meet with theirs parents one on one.
Our goal was to discuss and advocate for a vital importance of early education on children with disabilities, and to encourage them to enrolled their children back in school.
We have observed that when a child with disability lacks formal education. They are often pushed to the marginalized in the society, hereby face a lot of intense discrimination, stigma, poor self-esteem, and a profound lack of confidence in themselves.
Some are forced to survive by begging on the streets , while others suffer a lifetime of severe depression.
But with the right education, guidance and counseling, these children can become a great leaders in our society, just like many prominent figures with disabilities who inspire us today.
This is exactly why our foundation, Bright Horizons Advocacy Network for Person with Disabilities (Bright-HANDs) was established to support, guide, empower children, youth and women with disabilities through educational support and empowerment programs.
For the pictures above,
First Picture: A brilliant young boy named Goodluck alongside his mother, myself (team leader/Bright-HANDs) with their neighbors. The neighbours confirm that Goodluck has been out of school due to his parents unable to fund his tuition fee.
Second picture: Is a 8year old girl named Theresa Hapila from the small town of Kabusa, Abuja with her mother. Theresa has never stepped inside a classroom in her life right from birth, nor does she understand any spoken language, except her mother who can only communicate with her, using simple home grown sign language and body language.
Therefore, our Mission is to ensure both children are in school for the next term in September, 2026.
