The Let Cerebral Palsy Kids Learn Foundation is a Nigerian nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that children with cerebral palsy have equal access to quality, inclusive education. Founded in 2017, the foundation works to challenge misconceptions about the intellectual abilities of children with cerebral palsy while supporting families, schools, and communities to create environments where every child can learn, participate, and thrive. Through advocacy, public awareness, family support, and strategic partnerships, the organization is advancing disability inclusion and helping to break down barriers that prevent children with cerebral palsy from reaching their full potential.  

 

The Let Cerebral Palsy Kids Learn Foundation's work focuses on strengthening inclusive education systems by training teachers, supporting school enrollment and retention, empowering caregivers, and developing innovative solutions that improve learning outcomes for children with cerebral palsy. They have trained over 1,000 teachers across states in Nigeria and supported more than 1,000 families through education, and caregiver empowerment. With support from The New Africa Funds, they are delivering the Building Resilient and Informed Teenagers (BRIT) Program, an initiative that equips adolescents with cerebral palsy with the knowledge, life skills, and confidence to make informed decisions and navigate adolescence successfully. NAF funding is also supporting the development of their assistive communication app, an innovative solution that enables children with cerebral palsy who are Nonverbal and have limited use of their hands to communicate using head, eye movements, and hand gestures, fostering greater participation in education and everyday life.
