AS the world celebrates the International Day for People with Disabilities, the Ephaphata Hope Foundation, a group committed to distributing wheelchairs to the disable and creating awareness on issues affecting wheelchair users, has called for support to enable them to execute their projects.
Speaking at the event tagged: “I am a flower”, the Chief Executive Officer of Ephaphata Hope Foundation, Rita Nkechi Ofili, who is also physically-challenged, said the greatest concerns of persons with disability is that they feel insecure, emotionally temperament and loss of self control and confidence in themselves.
“Most parents with disable child(ren) are afraid of what people will say or call them, hence they tend to abandon, kill or hide such child with disability,” she said.
