A Message from the Founder of BOOM Trust

Dear Supporters and Friends, I am honored to share with you the recent success at the Mr....

We aim to enable individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives. We run programs to provide education and training to individuals with NDDs, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to start businesses and engage in income-generating activities. By doing so, BOOM Trust promotes economic empowerment and independence.
BOOM Trust also works to raise public awareness and advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. The organization collaborates with other stakeholders to promote policy reforms aimed at breaking down barriers to inclusion and promoting the full integration of people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders into society.
Overall, BOOM Trust’s mission is to bring about positive and enduring changes in the lives of individuals with disabilities by promoting social inclusion, economic empowerment, and community engagement.
We are committed to championing all beauty, living with courage, and standing fearlessly together to celebrate our differences as we build a community where diversity is expected, self-expression is honored, and all are welcomed and included.

BOOM Trust

Our Rationale:

Ecosystems improve the well-being of their members when all members contribute to the social, educational, environmental, and spiritual formation process regardless of physical, emotional, mental, and neurological status, and hence I advocate for the societal model of disability, championing all beauty, living with courage, and standing fearlessly together to celebrate our differences as we build a community where diversity is expected, self-expression is honored, and all are welcomed and included.

Our Scope of Work:

Through Research, Publications, Workshops, and Partnerships, we also maintain a continuous knowledge flow on developments in the area of NDD as we train, story tell, and create initiatives that enable the people living with NDDs to contribute to the flourishing of the society.

Since neurodevelopmental disorders are broad, our training needs majorly focus on the knowledge required to serve and teach children, and youth in this bracket, and also to support their caregivers and families in this journey.

In doing this, we are playing a role in; Africa Agenda 2063 – supportting Africa’s new path for attaining transformed, inclusive and sustainable economies, and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) building on the principle of “leaving no one behind”, emphasizing a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development for all and thus transform the world for persons with disabilities.

We are all different. It is what makes us unique and interesting human beings. Some differences are obvious, such as our height, the color of our hair, or the size of our nose.

Other features are not so readily discernible, such as our reading ability or political affiliation. Of course, some characteristics are more important than others. Greater significance is generally attached to intellectual ability than to shoe size.
