The Mum Bridge & Care Foundation is set to bring together 100 mothers with disabilities in Lagos on November 28 for the 2026 Disability-Inclusive Motherhood Summit, aimed at promoting access to healthcare, economic opportunities and social inclusion for mothers living with disabilities.

The summit, themed ‘Where She Blooms,’ will be held at Celebr8 Hall, Celebr8 Centre, Acme Road, Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, and is expected to attract mothers with disabilities, healthcare professionals, development partners and other stakeholders.

According to the organisers, the event will provide a platform for learning, networking and practical support while addressing barriers that limit the ability of mothers with disabilities to access essential services and opportunities.

The programme will feature a Health Village, where participants can engage with healthcare professionals, and Mum Bridge Circles, designed to encourage shared experiences, conversations and peer connections.

An Opportunity Market will also connect participants with businesses, services and potential economic opportunities.

Other activities include a Visibility Runway celebrating 20 mothers with disabilities and the presentation of 50 assistive devices to support their independence and daily activities.

To ensure accessibility, the organisers said sign language interpretation, step-free access routes, accessible toilets and a quiet space would be provided throughout the event.

The summit, scheduled for Saturday, November 28, is part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts to advance disability-inclusive motherhood and improve opportunities for mothers with disabilities in Nigeria.
