John Ngati Khachina’s Story

Age: 18 years

About John
Meet John Ngati Khachina, an 18-year-old with a bright smile and an unwavering spirit despite his health challenges. Born with severe cerebral palsy affecting both his upper and lower limbs, John faces immense physical difficulties but remains cheerful and enjoys the company of visitors. He loves taking care of chickens and goats, a testament to his positive attitude and determination.
Health Challenges
John’s condition, severe cerebral palsy, makes movement incredibly difficult. He can only crawl with great effort and has minimal speech. Despite these challenges, he maintains a positive outlook and enjoys engaging with those around him.
Due to financial constraints, John had to drop out of a special school, which significantly impacted his education and social development. His parents, Joel Khachina Ngati and Rose Muhonja Mukuli, struggle to provide for their family, relying on casual jobs to make ends meet. This financial strain means they cannot afford the necessary medical treatments and aids that John requires.
Daily Life and Needs
John depends entirely on his parents for all his daily activities, from feeding to bathing and moving around. His family’s financial situation is dire, making it impossible for them to afford the specialized care and equipment John needs.
John requires regular physiotherapy to manage his condition, counseling for emotional support, and orthopedic aids such as a wheelchair and prosthetics to improve his mobility and quality of life. Additionally, vocational training can provide John with skills to help him become more self-reliant and contribute to his family’s income.
