The para-soccer match, which held at basketball court, Old Parade Ground, Garki Area 10 Abuja drew an energetic crowd and was celebrated with music, dance, and special award presentations recognizing exceptional athletes in the disability community.
"We are committed to empowering persons with disabilities and fostering inclusivity through sports", the foundation founder, Dr. Krystal Chanchangi said shortly after the match while speaking with newsmen.
According to her, everyone has a role to play, especially Nigerians in Diaspora to uplift individuals from less privileged backgrounds.
She said there is no better way to give back to the society order than taking actions that will help people realize their full potentials.
"We all have a part to play in our own little ways. It’s time for those of us abroad to come back, give back, and uplift our people. Change doesn’t start with policies—it starts with people", she noted further.
She expressed the readiness of the foundation to build an inclusive society where every individual, regardless of physical ability, she added that through the partnership of other similar organizations, the foundation will continue to create opportunities that will help others to thrive.
