The Beauty of Inclusion

By Karen Purdie | Project Leader

Fashion Show 2018
Fashion Show 2018

The 29thof September saw IRODA host an exciting event in Tajikistan to both raise awareness and funds.  Charity Ball and Fashion Show, “The Inner Voice of Beauty”, was supported by prominent Tajik fashion designer, Nafisa Imranova and musical group ‘Avesta’, and showcased the skills of young people with autism and other disabilities.

As IRODA’s work has grown the need for a centre (in addition to the rooms that IRODA uses within the mainstream school) has become essential.  There are now many young adults with autism requiring specialist support for skills development, higher education and vocational training.  To date there are no appropriate opportunities for these young adults within other services and IRODA has ‘outgrown’ the current spaces where it’s work is located. “The Inner Voice of Beauty” was part of IRODA’s ongoing efforts to highlight the skills and abilities of people with autism, as well as their own initiative to raise funds towards a Centre for Social & Professional Development for young adults with autism. 

Thank you for joining with IRODA in their efforts to raise awareness of autism in Tajikistan, and in helping to raise the much-needed funds for their growing work.
