The Irede Foundation (TIF) has educated pupils of Opebi Grammar School in Lagos on inclusion towards child amputees. The training, held yesterday, titled “School based Advocacy Programme.”
The Foundation also distributed the Iredians Comic Book, Issues one and two, to all the students. Programmes Lead of the Foundation, Wuraola Kayode, said the book would educate the children on five types of disabilities. She listed them as visual impairment, amputees, cerebral palsy, autism and polio.
Kayode, who said the Foundation had given over 322 prosthetic limbs to children across Nigeria, called on students to treat children with disabilities equally.
Meanwhile, Director of the school, Taiwo Agun, representing the Principal, applauded the Foundation for educating the school. She, therefore, urged students to avoid stigmatising children with disability, but show them love.
