Empowering Silence: Alimat Modupeola’s Story

Writer: Leticia MoshweLeticia Moshwe

In the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, amidst the cacophony of daily life, a story of resilience and empowerment quietly unfolds. Meet Alimat Modupeola and her husband, a deaf and mute couple whose lives have been a testament to the challenges faced by those living with disabilities in Nigeria. For years, they struggled to make ends meet, battling against the odds stacked high against them. However, their story took a hopeful turn with the intervention of LIT Base Global, a humanitarian organization dedicated to supporting individuals like Alimat and her husband.


Born deaf and mute

Alimat’s journey has been marked by adversity. Born deaf and mute, she navigated a world where communication and opportunity often seemed out of reach. Her husband shares her challenges, compounding their difficulties in a society where disability can often mean exclusion from economic and social opportunities.


LIT Base Global recognized the potential in Alimat’s determination and resilience. Their mission to empower marginalized communities led them to Alimat’s doorstep. Understanding her passion and desire to improve her circumstances, LIT Base Global provided crucial support. They equipped Alimat with resources, training, and most importantly, belief in her own abilities.





With the assistance of LIT Base Global, Alimat received training in hair care and small business management. Recognizing the demand for personal grooming services in her community, she seized the opportunity to open a small haircare store. This venture not only provided her with a means of sustainable income but also empowered her to contribute meaningfully to her family’s financial well-being.


The impact of LIT Base Global’s intervention extended beyond economic empowerment. Alimat’s newfound independence and success have boosted her confidence and self-esteem. She now serves as a role model for others facing similar challenges, showing them that with determination and support, dreams can indeed become reality.





The journey of Alimat Modupeola and her husband underscores the transformative power of humanitarian aid when paired with individual resilience. Their story is a reminder that disability does not equate to inability and that with the right opportunities and support, individuals can thrive against all odds.


LIT Base Global continues to work tirelessly to empower marginalized communities across Nigeria and beyond. Their holistic approach to empowerment focuses not only on economic support but also on fostering dignity, self-reliance, and hope among those they serve.





As Alimat tends to her haircare store in Lagos, she embodies the spirit of perseverance and resilience that defines her journey. Her story serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the profound impact that a helping hand can have in transforming lives and creating a more inclusive society.


In the bustling city of Lagos, amidst the noise and chaos, Alimat Modupeola’s quiet success story stands as a testament to the transformative power of compassion and support. Thanks to LIT Base Global, Alimat and her husband have found their voices not in words, but in actions that speak volumes about the human spirit’s capacity to overcome adversity and thrive.
