Building Inclusive Communities Through Empathy and Action

The Dorcas Oyebode Initiative (TDOI) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting children with autism and other persons with disabilities (PWDs).

We work to create inclusive communities through education, advocacy, empowerment programs, and strategic partnerships.

Our mission is to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to opportunities, resources, and support systems that enable them to live with dignity, independence, and purpose.

At TDOI, we believe empathy is the foundation of inclusion. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we challenge misconceptions about autism and disability while promoting acceptance and understanding.
