Hannifah’s Story
August 14, 2024
The police found him. Baby Nate. Alive, but barely. His young mother had taken him to an abandoned construction site, tried to strangle him to death and fled.
Police searched for a family member finding his maternal grandmother. A relief, EXCEPT Hannifah was a widow, with severe clubfoot in both legs and barely able to provide for herself.
Unable to feed her own children, she forced them out. As much as she wanted to care for them, they were on their own. She told the police “No” for Nate, nearly starving herself. THANKFULLY, she was selected for our first Uganda Widow Connection sewing project. 6 months of training, a meal mid-day for her and Baby Nate as he tottered around our class. This was her New Beginning.
