STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE
No Child Left Behind: A Global Movement of Inclusion and Empowerment
The Kanyeyachukwu Autism Society (KAS) has evolved into a powerful global movement through its unstoppable campaign, “No Child Left Behind.” This initiative transcends borders, providing vital resources, inclusion, and empowerment for individuals on the autism spectrum. Through the transformative power of art-based initiatives, KAS bridges communities and cultures, using creativity as a universal language to foster understanding, acceptance, and opportunity. What began as a mission of awareness has become a worldwide movement of advocacy—one that continues to inspire, connect, and change lives across continents.
PROGRAMS
A milestone in KAS’s advocacy journey is the global success of the “Impossibility is a Myth” campaign — led by young artist Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke.
In April 2025, Kanyeyachukwu set the Guinness World Record for the Largest Art Canvas by an Individual, with a painting that became both a visual masterpiece and a rallying symbol for autism inclusion.
KAS played a central role in conceptualizing and executing the project — from artistic direction to media engagement — ensuring that the event served as a statement of hope and capability for neurodiverse individuals worldwide.
The project’s success attracted national recognition, including commendation from the President and First Lady of Minister of Women Affairs, and support from private sector partners such as MTN, GTB, INDOMIE, the Chagoury Group etc…

About the Kanyeyachukwu Autism Society Foundation
The Kanyeyachukwu Autism Society (KAS) is a Nigerian-based nonprofit organization committed to autism awareness, inclusion, and empowerment. Founded by Dr. Silvia Tagbo-Okeke and Mr. Tagbo Okeke in honour of their son, Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke — a world record-holding autistic artist — KAS serves as a platform for advocacy, education, and creative engagement for individuals living with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
At its core, KAS promotes the belief that autism is not a disability but a different ability, and that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, express, and thrive without stigma or limitation.
Founding Vision
The Kanyeyachukwu Autism Society was established out of a deeply personal journey. When Kanyeyachukwu was diagnosed with autism at an early age, his parents recognized both the challenges and the extraordinary creative potential within him. As he began to express himself through painting, his artwork became a medium of communication and self-discovery — a testament to what can be achieved when difference is embraced rather than suppressed.
Inspired by this transformation, the Tagbo-Okeke family founded KAS to amplify that message nationally and globally: that with understanding, inclusion, and support, children on the autism spectrum can achieve remarkable things
Mission and Objectives
KAS is dedicated to creating an inclusive society that recognizes and nurtures the potential of every neurodiverse child. Its mission rests on three core pillars:
- Awareness – Educating the public about autism through exhibitions, community events, school programs, and media campaigns that challenge misconceptions and promote empathy.
- Inclusion – Advocating for inclusive education, accessible environments, and supportive policies that ensure individuals with autism are integrated into schools, workplaces, and social life.
- Empowerment – Providing mentorship, art therapy, and creative skill-building opportunities that enable children and young adults with autism to express themselves and gain confidence.
