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.

Today, as therapy was coming to an end and our therapists were completing their assessments, reviews, and progress notes, one of them handed a file to me. I asked quietly, “Whose file is this?”
He looked at me and said softly, “It’s Abdul’s.”

In that moment, everything inside me paused.

Abdul,the child we lost recently.
Hearing his name, seeing his file in my hands… it brought back a rush of memories. His smile, his little sounds, the way he curled his fingers around ours, the quiet strength he carried even in his most fragile moments. It felt like the room grew still, as though his absence suddenly became present again.

My heart ached. There was a heaviness I couldn’t hide.
Grief has a way of arriving unannounced, and today it did, gently, but deeply.

Abdul may be gone, but moments like this remind us that he left an imprint on all of us. He is still part of our story, still part of SECHILD, still loved.

We are heartbroken to share that our dear Abdul has passed away.
He lived quietly and without words, yet he touched our lives in the most special and beautiful way.

SECHILD misses him deeply, and we pray that God will continue to comfort us, our caregivers, and his family.

Rest peacefully, sweet Abdul.
We will love you forever.

Yesterday, at SECHILD Center, Isaiah gave us such a sweet moment.

During therapy, he was lying on the mat when a football match came on TV. And instantly, his whole face lit up! His eyes followed the ball, he showed excitement, and for a while, nothing else mattered but the game. ⚽

Isaiah loves football, always has, always will. Seeing him so happy and focused reminded us that even small things can bring so much joy.

For children like Isaiah, moments like this are victories. They show us that therapy isn’t just about exercises, it’s about connection, happiness, and celebrating every little spark.

💚 Keep shining, Isaiah. You show us every day how beautiful joy can be.

A Visit That Turned Into Something More

This morning, one of our regular vendors dropped by the SECHILD Center. He’s the guy who keeps our refrigerators, AC units, and even our mini cold machine running smoothly. Yep, that’s right, we have a small cold machine where we sell ice blocks 💧 (and yes, every little bit goes toward caring for our children!).

He came in to check a fridge in the kitchen that wasn’t closing properly and to inspect the AC in our salon (yes, we have a hair beauty salon too! 😄 Proceeds from the salon also help with the upkeep of our children).

But then something unexpected happened… on his way out, he wandered through our therapy area where the children were watching TV.

And he just sat down.

Minutes turned into almost an hour as he watched, listened, and asked question after question:
“Will the children be healed? Where are their parents? How do you do this? What is the cause?”

He was completely captivated by the children. It was so heartwarming, he almost forgot the AC was still waiting! 😄 We reminded him after answering all his questions.

Moments like this remind us that awareness, compassion, and connection often start in the simplest ways, a pause, a smile, a shared moment that changes how we see the world. 💚

Yesterday’s hug reminded us why we do what we do.

Good Morning from SECHILD!

This warm embrace between our founder (in lemon ) and a visitor (in purple ) reminds us of the beautiful bonds that make our journey so meaningful.

Just yesterday, this lovely visitor shared that she celebrated her birthday at the SECHILD Center over a decade ago, back when we were still at C Close in Trademore Estate, around the same time we had just rescued our Star Boy. Hearing her story filled the room with emotion, and this heartfelt hug captured the love, gratitude, and connection that continue to define our mission.

As we welcome a new day, we carry these moments with gratitude and hope, inspired by how far we’ve come and the lives we continue to touch.

May today be your reason to rise, to give a hug, or to be hugged.
