Demonstrating an unwavering dedication to building a more inclusive society and empowering children with autism to live meaningful lives, *Anchor of Hope*, in partnership with The IDIA Project, organized an inspiring autism awareness walk yesterday through the streets of Benin City.
The walk began at Itohan Girls Grammar School, weaving through key areas of the historic city in a symbolic effort to raise awareness about autism and foster a robust support network for individuals affected. This initiative highlights the vital need to create opportunities that celebrate and embrace people on the autism spectrum.
During the event, the organizers Anchor of Hope spoke passionately about the broader vision behind the project:
"Our commitment to supporting children with autism extends far beyond Benin City—it is part of a nationwide mission. We urge institutions, corporate organizations, and compassionate individuals to stand with us in this important cause as we work towards creating a meaningful and lasting impact."
Idia Aisien, President of The IDIA Project, also reaffirmed her organization’s dedication to establishing programs tailored for children with autism. “This is just the beginning of what will become an annual tradition,” she stated. “Our goal is to set up support centers and provide accessible programs and resources for children with autism and their families. These include therapy services, skill-building workshops, and other essential initiatives.”
