“Children suffering from Down Syndrome and other disabilities abound in the country, and little is being done by members of the society to help in the process of rehabilitating them to make them fully integrated into the larger society.
“Parents and guardians of these children have a whole lot to worry about, including getting prospects for medical assistance. My objective is to assist with these children’s upkeep as their parents and guardians toil to give them education and rehabilitate them here,” Ayodele said.
Asked how he got the funds to acquire the materials, Ayodele explained that it was from the profit made from his start-up firm, Akada, which majors in educational consulting.
