Meet Nerita Ezenwa Chika, a beauty queen, career model and humanitarian. Among the beauty contests she has won include; the Most beautiful girl in Abuja 2016 as the Face of Dolce Entertainment, Queen of Aso International 2019 and more.
The Abia State-born Model and a graduate of Economics from ISM Adonai University in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, has been unconditionally dedicated to her vision of getting infants out of the street and giving them a better reason for living.
Nerita, a renowned Interior Decoration Designer, has initiated several projects and initiatives to provide care for children who have autism, out-of-school kids, rape victims, and charity visitations to IDP camps.
Nerita announced the unveiling of her non-governmental organisation, Nery Developmental Initiative, a platform she recently set up to reach more people with her humanitarian campaign.
She said efforts are ongoing to expand the scope and bring succour to the less privileged members of society.
Speaking about why she decided to focus on kids with autism she said, I grew up in a community where most kids are out of schools, especially those that are disabled and I noticed that a lot of people discriminate against them and they crave for inclusion in every aspect of their life which shouldn’t be so
I discovered that you can’t have a functional society or system when certain people are being neglected so they need a voice and people to speak up for them and I am one of those voices out there that are speaking up for kids with disabilities.
I have a sister who is a therapist for autistic kids and I have seen her struggle with these kids, I have seen how difficult for her to even relate with them and not to talk about their parents that don’t even know how to deal with kids that leave with autism.
I feel like they go through a lot of pain that we don’t even understand. In most schools, they are no places for schools with autism and special so you need to look for a therapist there are different stages of autism.
I feel like we should show more concern, they need our love because they need love to grow and for them to understand themselves.
