Started in 2011, it is aimed at educating people and most especially parents to stop locking their T21 children up, discriminating against them or even killing them as the case may be. National President, Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria, Mrs. Rose Mordi, who was also at the event said, “The charity and non-governmental organization is committed to bridging the gap between children with down syndrome and learning disabilities and the rest of the society through a support system that seeks to integrate them into the mainstream of the society in which they live. Because they are teachable, trainable, correctable, bendable and loveable”. Statistics show that over 150 million children are challenged mentally and physically in most parts of Africa, including Nigeria. These children are often neglected or abandoned by their parents, relegated and stigmatized by the society on the basis of culture or myths in their various communities. It was organized by Emeka Smith and Chibuzor Patrick.
