About us
Welcome to RECDOT
The brain child of the years
The Rehabilitation Centre for the Disabled, Old and Tramps (RECDOT) was founded on the 27th December, 1999. This humanitarian and non-profit Organization was born out of the director’s concern for the inhumanity and negligence meted out on some groups of the society.
"Compassion to look beyond the deformed appearance and dare to see the beautiful mind enclosed within these precious souls."
Dame Rosemary Nkiruka Odunukwe (MD RECDOT)
