Where Inclusion Begins With Compassion.
Every child deserves to be seen, understood, and welcomed with open arms.
Yet in Liberia, many families navigating autism and developmental differences face stigma, limited awareness, and little access to structured and individualized support.
Open Arms Kids Initiative was created to change that reality through community awareness, parent education, and collaboration with schools and families.
We are working to build systems where children receive individualized assessment, one on one support, and evidence based behavioral services tailored to their unique strengths and developmental needs.
Our vision is a Liberia where inclusion begins with compassion and every child is empowered to thrive.
WHY OAKI EXISTS:
Mission
To increase autism awareness and acceptance in Liberia by providing culturally relevant education, accessible ABA-based support, and family empowerment. We aim to build a system of care that meets children where they are, embracing neurodiversity and removing barriers to early intervention and lifelong success.
