The Naglogu Care Foundation (NCF) has organized a cerebral palsy sensitization walk in Tamale to raise public awareness about the condition and promote inclusion for persons with disabilities.
Dubbed “Walk with Radia 2025,” the event was spearheaded by Miss Radia Nuhu, Founder of the Foundation, and brought together hundreds of participants from diverse backgrounds in a show of solidarity, compassion, and commitment to social change.
The walk formed part of activities by the Naglogu Care Foundation and its partners to commemorate this year’s World Cerebral Palsy Day celebration.
Taking participants through the principal streets of Tamale, the event sought to educate the public on cerebral palsy — a lifelong neurological condition that affects movement and muscle coordination — while advocating for improved care, inclusion, and acceptance of individuals living with the condition.
Participants carried placards with messages such as “Cerebral Palsy is Not a Curse,” “With Care and Therapy, Children with Cerebral Palsy Can Thrive,” “Different Abilities, Same Dreams,” and “They Are Not Evil Spirits, They Are Human Like Us,” among others.
The walk also saw active participation from Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), youth-led organizations, volunteers, and community members.
Speaking at the event, Miss Nuhu expressed her gratitude to the people of Tamale and all partners for supporting the Foundation’s mission to promote awareness and compassion for children and adults living with cerebral palsy.
She said: “Today, we have walked not just for awareness but for hope and change. Cerebral palsy does not define a person’s worth or potential. With care, therapy, and love, individuals with cerebral palsy can thrive and live meaningful lives.”
Miss Nuhu urged parents, guardians, and caregivers not to discriminate against children with cerebral palsy, emphasizing that with the right support, they can grow to become responsible and productive citizens.
She also thanked all volunteers, youth groups, and partners for their continuous commitment to the cause.
Mr. Abass Safian, Executive Director of Alisco Media Hub, commended the initiative, describing it as a powerful symbol of community unity and empathy towards persons with disabilities.
