Jesse’s Place Foundation aims to support children and young people on the autism spectrum and their families.
We facilitate sensitisation programmes to raise awareness about autism that will count towards combating stigmatisation against disability, in order to promote tolerant and understanding communities both within the UK and in Nigeria.
Our mission and vision will be supported through advocacy, information and referral, support and community initiatives.
We believe every child on the autism spectrum is unique!.
We envision a world in which children and youths and their families living with autism are able to live to their full potential and also live a good quality life, where they thrive in a society in which their talents and skills are appreciated and valued.
