Of the 400 disabled children we support, four-year-old Evans stands out as one of the most inspiring.
When we first met him, he was tiny, undernourished, and in constant pain. Born without arms and with just one finger on his left shoulder, he faced immense challenges. Despite our support, his mother Hannah was struggling, he was screaming, and everyone was deeply concerned.
Today, he plays with a ball, is learning to walk, and last week at our meeting - tried to hold his bag of rice with his tiny finger. A real moment of progress and absolutely magical to see.
Read his story here: ateghana.org/from-strength-to-strength-the-heart-lifting-story-of-evans/
Incredible work from our Lawra SNAP Team - Gala Helen, Ernestina Gan, Esther Bekah
Such an interesting and inspiring story of hope. Very amazing to see him playing.
Such a beautiful story of hope for Evans and his lovely Mum.
Incredible!
Infact, giving hope to the hopeless. God bless you
