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. & Miss Inclusive event, where my daughter, a shining example of resilience and strength, was crowned the 2024 Mr. & Miss Inclusive Kenya Brand Ambassador. As a dedicated advocate for inclusive education and the rights of children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs), this achievement fills my heart with pride and hope for a more inclusive society.
With a Ph.D. in Education specializing in Child Development and Family Studies, I have long been devoted to transforming educational landscapes and advocating for marginalized populations. Serving as the Honorary Ambassador for African Children and Youth with NDDs at the International Women Think Tank reflects my commitment to this vital cause.
My personal journey as a mother to a daughter living with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Delayed Developmental Milestones, and Sensory Disorder has further deepened my dedication to championing inclusivity. Witnessing her triumph as the Brand Ambassador for Mr. & Miss Inclusive Kenya 2024 reinforces the belief that every child deserves the chance to shine, regardless of their abilities.
At BOOM Trust, our vision is centered on supporting children with NDDs through a holistic, inclusive approach that fosters growth, development, and empowerment. Our mission is given to creating inclusive environments to foster accessibility to all children and youth there by breaking the cycle of poverty by providing holistic education, character development, and comprehensive support to families and communities.
We are steadfast in our belief that all children, irrespective of ability or socio-economic status, deserve access to quality education in nurturing environments. Our efforts aim to create systems that not only accommodate but also empower children and families to thrive.
Join us in celebrating this milestone and in our shared commitment to building a more inclusive and supportive future for all children.
Warm regards,
Dr. Phidel Adah Baraza
Founder, BOOM Trust
