Chrissy in Malawi

This mother and daughter live in Malawi and at the young age of 3, Chrissy, one of her children, contracted polio; her life was spared, but her legs were not. For 19 years, this mother carried her daughter, Chrissy, on her back--everywhere!

mon and chrissyAs Chrissy grew older, the problem of getting her from place to place became more and more difficult. "She is heavy!" her mother explained, "it has been a hard experience and it is very tiresome on my back. I must carry her everyday."

Then one life changing day, her mother carried Chrissy to a place that would change both of their lives: Wilson Tembo with the Malawi Project fitted Chrissy into a Mobility Cart made in Wheatfield, chrissy on cartIndiana. "Now I will be able to get her to and from church very easily," her mother said. And for the very first time, at the age of 22, her mother walked back to their village with Chrissy--but this time, they were side by side!

Wilson Tembo, the Distribution Officer for the Malawi Project added, "The Mobility Unit will be a useful tool and a great means of transportation for Chrissy every day. Secondly, the availability
of this unit will help her mother attend to other important matters because she no longer has to carry Chrissy on her back all the time.
