About DIMS
The Disability-Inclusive Motherhood Summit 2026 is one day centred on access, opportunity and visibility. It brings together 100 mothers with disabilities in Lagos to access practical support, opportunities, visibility and community.
The Mum Bridge is convening the Summit because mothers with disabilities are too often reached by services designed without them in mind. DIMS puts the support, the platform and the room itself in their hands.

100 Mothers
The Summit is designed for 100 mothers with disabilities living in and around Lagos — across mobility, sensory, chronic-illness and other disabilities, at every stage of motherhood from pregnancy onward.

Accessibility
Accessibility is built into the Summit rather than added to it. Every Mum Bridge event to date has included sign language interpretation, and DIMS continues that standard alongside an accessible venue, participant support volunteers, and orientation and disability-inclusion training for everyone on the team.
If you have an access requirement we have not anticipated, tell us at info@themumbridge.org and we will plan around it.
