Mothers with disabilities in our active community
Mothers with disabilities in Nigeria face barriers at every turn, in healthcare, in their communities, and in the systems meant to support them. The Mum Bridge exists to change that.
A mother cannot fully communicate with healthcare workers because accessible support does not exist. A qualified mother is passed over for work because her disability is seen before her capability. A mother attends school meetings for her child and is treated like an observer instead of the parent — and yet, across Nigeria, mothers are still building families, communities, businesses, and futures often without the support they deserve.
These are not edge cases. They are the everyday reality of mothers with disabilities across Nigeria, and they are the reason The Mum Bridge exists.
We launched in April 2026. Here is what is already happening.
Mothers with disabilities in our active community
Mothers reached through The Mums You Don’t See advocacy series and social media
Lagos LGAs where we have engaged communities
First flagship physical community gathering successfully held
Institutional partnerships formed (LASODA, NNGO, DSVA)
Of our events have included sign language interpretation and accessible venues
Every number above represents a mother who now knows she is not alone.
We create pathways to connection, access, and opportunity for mothers with disabilities.
Peer support circles, safe spaces, mentorship, and real-time connection.
Referrals to disability-friendly healthcare, legal support, assistive devices and accessible resources.
Advocacy that shifts policy, institutions, and the standard of care. The Mums You Don’t See — a storytelling series that shifts public perception and puts mothers with disabilities at the centre of their own narrative.
Skills pathways, entrepreneurship, storytelling and opportunities for growth.
Training, accessibility reviews, and practical guidance that helps organisations, businesses, and institutions move from good intentions to genuine inclusion.
As we grow, we are building toward assistive device access partnerships and livelihood support pathways for mothers with disabilities. These are deliberate next steps, not afterthoughts.
Real moments from our programmes, events, and gatherings — showing the warmth, strength, and joy of our community.
The Mum Bridge & Care Foundation is a Nigerian community founded and led by a mother with a disability. We exist because the systems meant to support mothers — healthcare, the corporate world, business, parenting resources, and community — were not designed with mothers with disabilities in mind.
We understand this not from research, but from lived experience — and it is the foundation of everything we build. We are building what should have existed all along.
We are grateful to work alongside partners who share our commitment to building inclusive communities and empowering mothers with disabilities.
