This awareness month, we learn that epilepsy isn’t a curse, a punishment, or a sign of weakness it’s a neurological condition that millions of people live with every day.
What truly harms them isn’t the condition itself, but the myths, stigma, and fear that surround it.
Pointing fingers, whispering rumours, and spreading misinformation only isolate those who need understanding and support.
When we replace judgment with knowledge, and fear with compassion, we create a world where people with epilepsy can live with dignity, confidence, and hope.
Let’s unlearn the myths. Let’s educate our communities.
Let’s stand together and Komesha Kifafa. 💜

We were grateful to support caregivers of children with disability and epilepsy by providing diapers, a small but meaningful way to ease their daily caregiving journey.

💜These moments remind us why community care matters: every child deserves dignity and every caregiver deserves support.
