About Baraka
Samwel Baraka Asiko, affectionately known as Baraka, which means “blessings,” is a resilient 7-year-old boy. He was born with cerebral palsy and developed epilepsy at the age of two. Baraka is the second child in a family of two, raised by his single mother, Phanis Asiko, who relies on the support of her own mother. Their family faces significant financial challenges, making it difficult to provide Baraka with the consistent care and medical attention he needs.

Baraka’s cerebral palsy and epilepsy require ongoing and specialized medical care. He attends physiotherapy and epilepsy clinics on a weekly basis to manage his conditions. Due to delayed milestones, Baraka is currently learning essential Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as walking, eating by himself, toileting, dressing, and speaking.
