Mrs Nobuhle Fakudze-Magagula lives in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and has three children who all go to school. At home, they do a lot of farming and raise chickens for sale.

Several times a week, Mrs Nobuhle visits 161 children/youth who all have different kinds of disabilities. When a family has a disabled child, they usually hide the child away. The father often leaves the family because of the “different” child they have.

Mrs Nobuhle cries when she tells us how she explains for the parents that children are a gift from God. They are precious. They are a blessing. She says that God has given her such love for the disabled children and their families.

Her heart burns for the task of teaching parents to love their children and how to take care of them. For example, she helps them wash clothes and shows them how to make things easier for their disabled child/sibling.

She also helps them with birth certificates, finds aids, paying for hospital visits, gives them diapers and medicine.

The families she visits are often very poor. They often cannot afford to buy the most basic things. Mrs. Nobuhle therefore often brings a chicken or something she has grown. Sometimes it is the only food the family eats that day.
