Who We Are

About TAAF

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.

Children in an inclusive classroom

Building an Inclusive Future for Every Child

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.

TAAF was founded with a deep commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind because of a disability. Through teacher training, community outreach, and inclusive education advocacy, we are building a future where every child thrives.
