Why We Exist

In Nigeria, 96% of children with disabilities are out of school. Many face stigma, lack of resources, and isolation.
Story Academy was born from a vision to change that — providing not just education, but dignity, belonging, and a chance to thrive.

in the Legacy of Leke Aderohunmu”

A Vision Rooted in Love, Built for Every Child

Story Academy was born from a dream shared by Wumi and her late husband, Leke—a man of vision, integrity, and deep commitment to family.
 Their journey began with a desire to build a future where children with special needs, like their son Samuel, could be truly supported.
Leke’s encouragement and belief in inclusive education helped lay the foundation for what would become a lasting legacy: a school grounded in purpose, empathy, and opportunity for all.

“Story Academy is part of Leke’s lasting legacy—a vision born in love, carried forward with purpose.”
