TALI IN CONVERSATION
If 1 in 4 of every 20 year old, will have a disability before they are 60 years old. This increases the chances of you and I getting a disability. If the life of an average Nigerian is already filled with a lot of challenges, then imagine that of a person with disability here in Nigeria.
TALI cannot bridge this gap alone! We need your support!
