The Irede Foundation has advocated an inclusive society in which all voices are heard and considered, particularly where children living with disabilities live an independent and limitless life regardless of their unique nature.
In order to see such a society, the foundation in its debut comic book, The Iredians, starring children with disabilities, launched in Lagos, maintained that books, music and arts are important tools that hel children and people make sense of the world around them, which shapes their worldviews and provide a lens through which they see the world.
According to its executive director, Crystal Chigbu, children need to understand how to act when they see other children with disabilities, accord them equal respect given to any other person and extending a hand of empathy.
