Josephine is a 12 year old girl who was born normal, however when she was a baby she got sick with malaria for 3 months; from that sickness she developed Cerebral Palsy (CP). Her mother took her to local clinics and hospitals, but none where helpful. After going to one last hospital in Kayunga they were directed to Spring of Hope (SOH).
Before SOH started working with Josephine in 2005 she was unable to do anything physically; now she is able to crawl, sit, feed herself, and bathe on her own! SOH made a walking stabilizer for her to practice strengthening her legs and for stabilization while bathing. Hopefully as SOH continues working with Josephine we will see consistent improvement both physically and mentally.

Martin

Martin is an eight year old little boy who was born premature. He couldn’t be taken to the hospital and put in a warming machine, so his mother covered him with a blanket instead.  Martin was healthy until he contracted malaria at the age of three.  Two months later the malaria had caused cerebral palsy (CP); deforming his arms and legs. He was admitted into several hospitals but none of them could help with this disorder. 
      Spring of Hope (SOH) started working with Martini when he was 5 years old.  The first step they took was to have him fully cased for one year. Now Martin is able to sit and walk with help. SOH is now working with him using exercises that focus on mutability, communication, and balancing while sitting. Martini has shown encouraging growth since SOH first started working with him.

Adia

Adia is a 10 year old little girl who was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP).  She is among the oldest of 9 children in her family, but still looks like an infant.  In August of 2009 she was infected with malaria; inflicting sores and swelling all over her body.  Adia is unable to feed herself so her mother has to soften her food to feed her gradually.
      Spring of Hope (SOH) has been working with Adia for two years.  At first she was much smaller and unable to complete any physical tasks. Now Adia is able to sit up on her own and SOH is providing nutritious food so her body will develop to a healthy size. At this time we are searching for a sponsor for Adia so (SOH) can continue providing her with the care she desperately needs.  Please pray for Adia as she grows that God will touch her right where she is at and wrap her in his arms of protection
      If you or anyone one you know is looking to find a child to sponsor please consider Adia as you pray for God’s direction in this process. Together with Christ we can save children all over the World one child at a time.  Let’s make a difference in the hearts of God’s children TODAY!

AZURUHAMU TOM

After the treatment the mother realised that the child had become weak and had poor neck control. They have visited several hospitals and have been told on several occasions that Tom's brain had been damaged by the malaria he got at three months. Soh started working with Tom on the 29-jan- 2009. Currently we have been able to get Tom to walk with support of a walker and also being able to control the seizures he has been having for the last 3years.
