Why We Need Your Help
When our team visited the two main hospitals for the first time in Ghana to see how we could help, we were not prepared to say the least. This is an experience none of us would ever forget in a hurry. We had to act quickly to raise the awareness for more help and support especially the case of mentally and physically disabled children. Very little is known about these special children who are either abandoned, or both parents are in similar or worse conditions and cannot care for them.
