Living with autism in Ghana has just been made more bearable since HopeSetters, an autism center, came out with a locally configured autism app that helps children with autism receive better education.

The privately funded center is the very first in Sub-Saharan Africa to make learning easier for kids with autism.

Speaking of her motivation, 24-year-old Alice Amoako (pictured) says that her desire to ease the strain of teaching and learning among children with special needs informed her decision to develop the app.

“I [visited] an autism centre and had interactions with the caregivers and children, and I realized there was a need to help raise awareness.
