A Message From Our Founder
Starting Lawsanaid was a significant achievement in 2022.
It began with a desire to assist law students with
disabilities after encountering a brilliant visually
impaired student during my undergraduate years.
This student's determination inspired me to create a more
inclusive environment when I became the Southeast Regional
Director for law students in Nigeria. Working closely with
him, I learned about the challenges faced by students with
disabilities and was motivated to help.
This young man's story became the inspiration for Lawsanaid,
and I'm proud of the progress we've made in supporting law
students with disabilities in Africa. Our success wouldn't be
possible without the incredible Lawsanaid team and the support of
our sponsors, partners, volunteers, ambassadors, and benefactors.
To our community members, remember that disability is not an
inability, and your dreams are valid. Thank you for being
part of this journey.
To those visiting our website, welcome! We hope you're
inspired to join us as a volunteer, benefactor, partner,
or in any capacity. Together, we can achieve the Lawsanaid
vision and contribute to the UN SDGs!
