What We Believe in
we believe that with proper information and education we will be able to dispel the stigma associated with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. We believe early detection and intervention is crucial to making great strides in the development of any child with the condition. We believe by assisting families of people with Down Syndrome on how to get the necessary professional help ,we can make an impact in the lives of these children. We believe each child has a unique ability and it is our duty to help them recognize that and excel.
In 2012 our little sweet baby girl was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. it was a difficult time for our family but the love and support for each other kept us going.We had to find ways to help her reached her full potential.we enrolled her into a school that uses inclusive education programs and with the help of amazing team and doctors she made a great impact.In our parts of the world we realized that there was lack of awareness and the necessary support to help other children like ours with learning disabilities.We then embarked on this journey to raise awareness and ensure that children with learning disabilities gets the support they need to reach their full potential’s, and ultimately make positive contribution to their communities and the world as a whole.
