Punuka Foundation is set to hold its flagship Annual Walk for Super Special Children.
The 2026 edition will be held on May 2, 2026, in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State.
The highly anticipated community event celebrates children with neurodiverse conditions and advocates for a more inclusive and supportive society.
The walk will start from PAS World Centre Plot 7, Block A10, Layi Yusuf Street, Off Admiralty Way at 7am.
Executive Director of Punuka Foundation, Mrs. Elizabeth Idigbe, said: “At the heart of this walk is a powerful message: every child deserves to be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated.
“The Annual Walk for Super Special Children is more than just a walk; it is a movement to break stigma, raise awareness, and promote policy actions that create lasting change for neurodiverse children in Nigeria.
