Youth with disabilities need talent- development for independent living. They face discrimination even by family members.
Youths living with disabilities in Nigeria often live by begging alms because their talents are not developed and so they depend on others.

We are finally launching the SIgn Language Club tomorrow Tuesday, 7th June 2022, in Partnership with the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET).
A great vision that started in 2020 and became a reality in 2021.
EMPOWERED EMPATHIC CHILDREN HAVE BROUGHT A CHANGE !
THEY HAVE TACKLED A SOCIAL PROBLEM!
BRAVO CHANGE MAKERS!
BRAVO BARRIER BREAKERS!
Join us in breaking the BARRIER between the hearing and speech impaired and the “normal” members of the society . Learn sign Language via WhatsApp Tuesday and Friday 10-11am. Contact : +2347069518626/+2348023269577.
We are preparing to start Sign Language Club in primary schools in Lagos amongst other clubs in the school.
To facilitate knowledge of sign language among the youths of this generation (catch them young)
The hearing and speech impaired would have no more barrier in communication if their peers can communicate with them in the language they know.
This disability would be phased off at a time when the immediate and wider society can communicate with them.
It takes a little time to learn a language and it is cost effective.
We need support and partners for materials and funds to carry out this Idea/ changemaking program.
Happy Easter! As you celebrate, don’t forget those with Special needs . Don't leave them behind or forget them but carry them along. God made them so because He has given Love in your heart to carry them along . Help to empower them with skills. Patronize their products. Learn Sign language to be able to communicate and relate to those who cannot hear or talk with you by ear and mouth.

Hello Happy New Year. There is a challenge in the immediate and wider society by lack of Sign Language knowledge by people.
To break the barrier, young people should learn Sign language to include the hearing and speech impaired.
Happy Easter and Happy New Month. Remember those with Special needs . Don't leave them behind or forget them. God made them so because He has given Love in your heart to carry them along . Help to empower them with skills. Patronize their products. Learn Sign language to be able to communicate and relate to those who cannot hear or talk with you by ear and mouth.
Encourage young people to learn sign language including you in any small way. It is a great positive change in our generation and future if we now can accommodate the speech and hearing impaired and bring them into the main stream of the society by communicating effectively with them. They can then work with us and do business with us
We empowered and graduated another eight youths with disabilities on the 14th of December 2017 . It was a day of joyful celebrations for both students, parents, well wishers and the Management Body of the Organisation. Support our efforts. Let us hear from you and don't encourage giving to keep them on the streets.
The end of the year 2017 is fast approaching as we enter the second month in the second half of the year...Thinking of how to give back to society or how to support others not as privileged as you? start making plans early, start now!
Make plans to visit the friends of disabled center and spend time with our special people with special needs or bring food items to share with them. You can also support them by buying the items they make such as clothes, smoked fish (processed fresh right there at the centr), shoes, wrought iron, burglary proofs etc.
You can also support them finacially by making financial donations or sponsoring a student or more to learn a vocationional skill that will empower them for life!
BE THE CHANGE, BE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER, HELP EMPOWER THEM.
They will be very glad you came, shared and supported them.
