Through project we provided over 50 disabled and vulnerable residents in our child of hope center. We opened a vegetable farm for our residents in Kenya by renting a land for one year so that they can grow vegetable to support their feeding and also sell some for their upkeep. We also provided farming equipment for their use to encourage them and get them involved in things they can do. We look at to their needs no matter how small to support them on regular bases. We opened a piggery farmimg project in Ghana to support our disabled center with over 26 residents. We provided food items to partially blind people in the Sierra Loene.
Our disabled residents in Nigeria have been doing Exercise. They participated in different exercise to keep their mental health and wellbeing. One of the resident commented, “ I have greatly improved in my mobility with regular exercises I do” What I liked most is been able to walk around with my walk support motor. Also in Ghana our disabled residents have been involved in farming, growing tomatoes, cassava, okra and other vegetables to support with their feeding. The joy of doing things in our capacity keeps us going and makes us well loved and cherished “said one of the residents”.
