Before TEO, my son faced constant discrimination due to his epilepsy. School was impossible, and our community shunned us. TEO not only educated others about the condition but also empowered my son through their mentorship program. Today, he's a skilled tailor, confident and independent. TEO gave him hope and a future.
My daughter struggled in school due to her epilepsy. TEO's educational workshops enlightened us about the condition and provided practical advice. With their support, my daughter gained confidence, managed her seizures better, and excelled in her studies. TEO empowers not just individuals but their families too.
Living with epilepsy can be isolating. TEO's support groups offered a safe space to connect with others who understand our challenges. Sharing experiences, receiving emotional support, and advocating together has made a world of difference. TEO fosters a sense of belonging and empowers us to fight for our rights.
