Chrysalis Care Initiative (CCI) paid a visit to the Diamond Centre for Children Living with Disabilities in Ayobo, in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, on January 3, 2025 as part of its mission of inclusion and empowerment.
The outreach included the donation of essential items such as mobility aids, educational materials, and recreational supplies tailored to meet the needs of the children. The initiative highlighted the organization’s dedication to ensuring that every child, regardless of their abilities, feels valued, supported, and celebrated.
Similarly, on December 21 2024, Chrysalis Care Initiative hosted its inaugural “Moment to Remember 1.0” event at Compassionate Orphanage in Isheri, in Alimosho LGA. The event brought together children from Precious Pearls Orphanage and Last Hope Orphanage, creating a vibrant community of joy and learning.
Donations at the event included mini libraries filled with books to foster literacy, as well as arts and crafts materials to inspire creativity. The event also featured calligraphy sessions, mental health workshops for caregivers, and a symbolic “Tree of Greatness,” where children and caregivers added green thumbprints as a pledge to strive for greatness despite challenges.
Speaking on these initiatives, the Founder and Director of Operations at Chrysalis Care Initiative, Kafayat Azeez-Fashola, said, “Every child is special, and it is important to show them their worth and remind them how much they matter. At Chrysalis Care Initiative, children and youth are our utmost priority because they represent the future of our world.
Through CCI’s ‘Moment to Remember,’ the organisation aim to create memories and opportunities for growth, healing, and connection.”
