About Us

How We Got Our Start

Senfocus CIO is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children with special educational needs (SEN). Founded by Felicity Odiro, a mother of two, one of whom has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Senfocus aims to provide support, resources, and opportunities for children with SEN and their families.

Felicity’s personal experience as a parent navigating the challenges of caring for a child with special needs has driven her to create an organization that seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of SEN children, ensuring they receive the understanding, assistance, and opportunities they deserve.
