Who We Are

Building an Inclusive Future for Every Child

The Autism Awareness Foundation is an inclusive-driven organization where we believe that each child counts and each can learn, regardless of their disability, environment, or socio-economic background.

Nearly 240 million children worldwide live with disabilities. In Nigeria, about one in every eight people live with at least one form of disability. We exist to redirect attention to the need for child protection — especially children living with disabilities.

Our Mission

To create and foster a society free of stigmatization and marginalization through empowered teachers and caregivers, where children have equal access to education and an enriched institution built on inclusion and equity.

Our Vision

Achieving an inclusive educational system, where each child has access to inclusive education irrespective of their disability, and building a community of inclusion advocates with a growth mindset.

Our Objective

To see children on the autism spectrum achieve holistic and inclusive education, with exceptional ability and triumphing in their day-to-day activities.

Our Guiding Principle

“Built on the value proposition of oneness and equity — each individual is as important as the whole community.”

What Drives Us

Everything we do is rooted in these three principles that guide our approach to building a more inclusive society.
