Co-founder Mrs. Duma Edward-Dibiana emphasized that inclusion begins with understanding. She said individuals with Down Syndrome deserve respect, equal opportunities and a community that empowers them to thrive. The foundation also urged swift enforcement of the Prohibition Against Discrimination of People with Disabilities Act. It wants tangible steps from government and institutions to break down stigma and build a more compassionate future for all.
