The Sedoo Initiative For Children With Special Needs

The Sedoo Initiative For Children With Special Needs SECHILD was born from a mother’s struggle to care for her two children with cerebral palsy and her desire to help others.

It has grown into a refuge offering advocacy, therapy, rehabilitation, residential care, and support for parents and caregivers. We are grateful to be involved in this advocacy that recognises the challenges faced by children living with special needs along with their families and care givers.Our work is to educate our communities that children born with special needs are neither from the spirit world nor snake incarnate and DO NOT bring curses on their families.We hope that Nigerians across the country will understand special needs and above all stop digitisation and show their support and love for the brave families that are affected by this disorder.Every child deserves to be accepted, supported, loved and cared for.

Yesterday, we shared about feeding a child whose parents brought to SECHILD to learn how he could be supported

In this picture, his mother is feeding him herself.

The family traveled all the way from another state to the FCT to visit SECHILD, spending several hours with us.

As always, we do our best to make parents and children feel at home whenever they are at SECHILD Center.

Today, the parents of this child with cerebral palsy visited SECHILD Center to learn how their child could be admitted and supported.

Though the child is not yet admitted, he was hungry, so our founder personally helped feed him.

Even in something as simple as a meal, care, dignity, and love shine through. 🤍

Founder’s Note – Kawan Aondofa Anjira

“I need to say this with love, not judgment.

To parents who pack their children with cerebral palsy’s belongings in this kind of bag, what does it mean? Would we pack a child without cerebral palsy, resuming boarding school, in the same kind of bag?

In my opinion, this type of bag is meant for other things. Yes, it is strong. Yes, it is spacious. But seeing a beautiful child with cerebral palsy’s clothes and personal items inside it made me pause… and reflect.

Let’s be honest. The bag is durable and can hold many items. The straps can carry heavy loads.

But when it comes to children, especially children with cerebral palsy, packing their personal belongings in it (not toys, not supplies, but their personal things) raises concern. The bag is oversized and not child-friendly. There’s no structure; items shift and get disorganized. The material is rough, with no lining or padding. There are no compartments, no zippers, no protection. And most importantly, its industrial look strips away dignity.

In short: it may work for goods, but it should not be the first choice for a child, especially a child with cerebral palsy.

When I see children with cerebral palsy admitted at SECHILD with their belongings packed in bags that don’t reflect care or pride, I can’t help but ask: Would we pack our children’s things this way if they were resuming boarding school?

Cerebral palsy does not reduce a child’s worth. Disability does not cancel dignity.

These children already face enough, stares, limitations, and barriers we may never fully understand. The least we can do as parents is present them to the world with the same respect we would give any other child.

This is not about expensive things. It’s about intention. It’s about love shown in practical ways. A simple, decent bag sends a powerful message: ‘You matter. You are valued. You belong.’

This is not about shaming parents. This is about advocacy. Let’s advocate for our children not only with our voices, but with our actions. Let’s protect their dignity, build their confidence, and remind them, daily, that they are worthy of care, pride, and respect.

Our children are not less. They are deserving.”
