Mercy is 16 years old. She comes from a very large family where her elder siblings dropped out of school and got married at a very tender age. She faced rejection at birth because she was born without arms. She was rescued when she was about to be thrown in a pit latrine because of being born different. This was all because children born different in the neighborhood are viewed as a curse so most families with such children keep them away from the public to avoid public shame and insults. Growing up in a humble family with many children was a struggle. Her parents were challenged financially and couldn’t send her to school because it was very expensive to take her to a school that caters for children with special needs.
At Berakhah, she found love, acceptance, and hope. All her needs are met and she now feels valued which has gotten her to hope again. She dreams of a better future, one where she can rise above her challenges and make her life meaningful, with your support Mercy can rewrite her story
Your sponsorship makes a difference—not just for her, but for many children like her. Thank you!
