Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jesse’s Place Foundation, Mrs Sola Folarin-Ogunde, shares with BIODUN BUSARI her thoughts on the insensitivity of the Nigerian society towards children with disability
How would you describe your advocacy?
I am the founder of Jesse’s Place Foundation, which is an organisation that works with parents and carers of children living with autism and learning disabilities. I’m also a senior education practitioner who was trained and has practised in the United Kingdom for over 25 years.
We operate in the UK and Nigeria. Part of what we do is the creation of respite programmes for children and young people. It makes the parents have some respite so we can take on the children and engage them in meaningful activities. So, that’s part of what we do.
Does your advocacy have training initiatives?
