Why The Thabani Project?
Seeing children and families struggling because of a lack of knowledge of and support for neurodiversity and mental health needs is heartbreaking. Tired of witnessing suffering, I reached a crisis point where I had to make a choice: be consumed by sadness or use the pain as fuel for change.
After taking part in the Equal Power Equal Voice mentoring programme 2022/2023 and the Plan for Peace Changemakers in Turbulent Times programme in Spring 2023, I started The Thabani Project to help raise awareness, reduce stigma and connect families to a support network that will help them thrive.
18 – 24 March 2024 is Neurodiversity Celebration Week
I will be posting on The Thabani Project’s Instagram and Facebook accounts every day this week sharing about the inspiration for this project and the work I’ll be doing this year.
