WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGAN

One conversation.
A different possibility.

In 2014, Agnes Fallah Kamara met parent advocate Jaki Mathaga during a Vital Voices fellowship in South Africa. Conversations about raising an autistic child and the barriers facing families helped shape her commitment to autism awareness and support in Liberia.

That commitment grew into radio outreach, a specialized classroom, caregiver support and national policy engagement.
