The International Adaptive Clothing Design Contest, an initiative of “On the Wings” Project in partnership with The Inclusive Community for Advocacy and Development (TICAD) Nigeria, opens up new opportunities for people with special needs, helps them to realize their knowledge, skills, and professionalism, see demand, and feel confident in a modern, stylish image.
This contributes to their easier integration into society, a fulfilling life, and professional fulfillment. An essential part of the project is international cooperation, which facilitates the exchange of culture and experiences in supporting people with disabilities.
