The scholarships, awarded in July 2025, reflect the Foundation’s mission to break financial barriers and ensure that children living with disabilities have equal access to quality education.

According to the Foundation, the initiative was carefully designed to ease the financial burden on families, foster inclusive learning environments, and provide children with special needs the chance to thrive academically and socially.

Speaking on the impact of the initiative, Dr. Soibi Godwin-Clark, Executive Director of Brace Foundation, emphasized the organisation’s commitment to equality

“At Brace Foundation, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. These scholarships are more than financial aid,” she said.

Dr. Godwin-Clark added that the initiative goes beyond financial assistance, describing it as a long-term investment in inclusion.

“They are a signal of hope and a step toward an inclusive society where all children are valued. We are proud to walk alongside these families as partners in their children’s educational journey. We look forward to giving the next batch of scholarships in September 2025.”

Parents of beneficiaries have already expressed heartfelt appreciation. Habilla Daniel, whose son benefitted from the scholarship, said the support had lifted a huge weight off her family.

“My son’s school has informed us about the payment they received on behalf of Daniel’s needs in school. My family and I, including Daniel, are saying a big thank you and a prayer from our hearts to Brace Foundation. More increase and blessings upon the founder.”

The Brace Foundation noted that this scholarship program forms part of its broader vision of building a society where every child, regardless of disability, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s future
