The day concluded with a beautiful photo session, freezing in time the smiles and shared commitment to inclusivity reached over a single afternoon. In the narrative of this outreach, FIDA Nigeria did not only visit a center; they became part of a community, weaving bonds that transcended an advocacy outreach into one of collaboration towards strengthening legal safeguards for the vulnerable persons at the center.
