About Us
Our story, mission, and the people behind our work
Our Story
Syrilla Healthcare Helping Hands Foundation was established in 2025 from the lived experience of the Founder and Co-Founder while raising a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy in Nigeria.
The Foundation was created to provide meaningful support, advocacy, and care to individuals and communities with additional needs. It is rooted in compassion, direct experience, and a desire to bridge healthcare and social support gaps.
