We Care

At The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Nigeria (TMDCN), we care for everyone affected by Muscular Dystrophy. We provide compassionate personal, emotional, and social support to individuals, families, friends, and caregivers, recognising the physical and mental health challenges that come with the condition.

We are committed to empowering people living with Muscular Dystrophy by supporting their skills, talents, and independence, regardless of the barriers they face. Through access to appropriate equipment, information, and community support, we work to improve quality of life and promote dignity, inclusion, and hope.

We Are Inclusive

We work to ensure that everyone living with Muscular Dystrophy has access to support, inclusion, and opportunities to thrive.

• We challenge public perceptions by promoting understanding and recognising the abilities and potential of people living with Muscular Dystrophy.

• We engage in advocacy and policy dialogue to influence government decision-making and improve services and protections for people affected by Muscular Dystrophy.

• We encourage active participation in sports, music, drama, and other community activities to promote social integration, reduce isolation, and prevent social anxiety linked to disability.

We Are Collaborative

We believe meaningful change is achieved through partnership. TMDCN works closely with public and private sector stakeholders, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and international organisations to maximise impact and reach.

By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, we strengthen service delivery, improve awareness, and advance advocacy for people living with Muscular Dystrophy. Through collaboration, we build sustainable solutions that improve lives and drive long-term change.

We Are Focused on Results

Everything we do at TMDCN is driven by impact and measurable improvement in the quality of life of individuals and families affected by Muscular Dystrophy. Our programmes, advocacy, and partnerships are designed to deliver practical support, meaningful inclusion, and lasting change.

While effective treatments and cures for Muscular Dystrophy are still being developed, we remain committed to supporting people living with the condition to maximise their potential. Through empowerment, access to resources, and ongoing support, we help individuals live with dignity, purpose, and hope—today and in the future.

We Are Determined

The fight against muscle-wasting conditions demands courage, resilience, and long-term commitment. At TMDCN, we are prepared for this journey—no matter how long it takes. We stand firm in our resolve to challenge barriers, confront inequalities, and push for meaningful change for people living with Muscular Dystrophy.

Driven by purpose, we are committed to uniting resources, strengthening partnerships, and mobilising communities to achieve our vision of improved care, inclusion, and quality of life for all affected.
