365Daily – Inclusive African Children’s Runway returns to Abuja on Saturday, August 2, 2025, for its third edition at the FCT Exhibition Pavilion, bringing together children with diverse physical and intellectual abilities for a vibrant showcase of fashion, culture, and advocacy.
Organised by The Engraced Ones Prayer Support and Advocacy Initiative, the event has become a powerful platform for disability inclusion since its debut in 2023.
“This is where stories come alive, confidence is celebrated, and inclusion becomes a lived experience,” said Biboara Yinkere, convener of the initiative, said in a press statement on Monday, July 28, 2025. “Too many children grow up unseen, their dreams dimmed by silence and exclusion. The runway changes that.”
The 2025 edition follows an international outing in Dayton, USA, held in April, and continues to promote the message that every child deserves to be seen and celebrated.
“Our aim is to use fashion, music, and storytelling to break barriers,” Yinkere added. “Every child, regardless of ability, has the right to thrive.”
Organisers are calling on the public to support the event through sponsorship, professional services, media partnerships, or volunteer engagement.
“Support can come in many forms,” said Yinkere. “Together, we can build stages where confidence blooms and inclusion becomes part of every child’s daily reality.”
