Every healed parent is a child saved. You don’t have to repeat the pain of the past—seek therapy, build self-awareness, and raise children with love, not trauma. #HealingJourney #ConsciousParenting

I am grateful to @PI_AfricaHub for equipping me with crucial HRD skills. I then disseminated this knowledge to passionate young epilepsy activists, empowering them to challenge negative narratives & advocate safely.

As a parent advocate, the Umoja workshop in Nairobi was so helpful! Learning about human rights mechanisms to better support my child & others with epilepsy & dev. disabilities. Thank you @PI_AfricaHub

Epilepsy: A Mystery with No Single Cause

Epilepsy is actually a collection of conditions, not one single disease. Its causes can range from genetics to brain injury, but for up to 40% of people, the cause is still unknown. No wonder it's called a "spectrum" disorder!

[TanzaniaEpilepsy @EpilepsyTz]

Living with epilepsy means embracing challenges and celebrating victories, no matter how small.

[TanzaniaEpilepsy @EpilepsyTz]

On this Teachers' Day 2024, we thank educators for their tireless efforts in advocating for epilepsy awareness in classrooms. Your dedication fosters inclusion, dispels stigma, and empowers students with epilepsy. Together, we’re building a more understanding society.

Epilepsy is more than just the seizures
We all need God's grace to stand strong

The Financial Burden to the families
The stigma around Epilepsy
And Yet Epilepsy is not a health priority
We really need God's grace
