Their Needs
Meet a few of the children we love
Muwa
Abandoned as an infant, Muwa (age 9) is being raised by an unrelated woman who knew his grandmother. Although malnourished and with limited mobility, he has a deep soul that fixes our attention.
Muwa made significant gains at AAC. He underwent surgeries to correct his clubfoot and leg positioning, followed by procedures to repair a broken femur. Today, Muwa is able to stand and walk with assistance.
Shirat
Excited to learn and to gain mobility. Shirat (age 8) is the first to share food and toys with her classmates. She needs physiotherapy and speech services. Her mother is a role model for other parents of children with cerebral palsy.
Kaddu
Age 15, Kaddu has cerebral palsy and was abandoned as an infant. He is being raised by an unrelated 90-year-old “grandma” in a rural village. He is unable to attend our center but receives services and home visits. Kaddu has the brightest smile, and the love you feel in his presence is palpable.
