The Anchor of Hope Autism Centre, in partnership with the International Development Initiative in Africa Project (The IDIA), is thrilled to announce its forthcoming event, the “Walk for Autism,” scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, in Benin City, Edo State. The walk is another profound step in their continued commitment to supporting children living with autism and fostering greater understanding and inclusivity in society.
The event will kick off at *Itohan Girls Grammar School, Benin City, at exactly *8:30 a.m., where participants will take to the streets in a united bid to spread awareness about autism and inspire love, empathy, and acceptance for children on the autism spectrum.
Highlighting the importance of the event, free consultations and assessments for children will also be offered, providing families with valuable opportunities for support, guidance, and resources.
Idia Asien, the esteemed convener of The IDIA Project, passionately emphasized her commitment to championing initiatives that uplift children in need. In her words:
“Kerry Magro once said that autism is not a curse; it’s a different way of thinking and feeling. Through the ‘Walk for Autism,’ we are coming together to celebrate and support these amazing children, helping them be everything they aspire to be by understanding their unique perspectives. This project is our opportunity to walk in love, empathy, and solidarity with them. I am excited that The IDIA Project aligns with everything that concerns children, and I encourage everyone to turn out in their numbers on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, to join us on this remarkable walk.”
Anchor of Hope Autism Centre and The IDIA Project call on individuals, families, organizations, and communities to participate in this impactful event. Together, we can create a world that embraces diversity and nurtures the incredible potential of every child, regardless of their challenges.
