Respite came today (Friday), for Rahma Haruna, a limbless 19-year old girl of Lahadin Makole in Dawakin Kudu local government area of Kano state when the state Commissioner for Women Affair, Barr. Zubaida Damakka Abubakar, presented empowerment to her family.

Rahma, who has no functional limbs but tiny appendages in the position of arms and legs, is being moved about in a synthetic washbasin by a young cousin, to beg for alms in Kano city, about 26 kilometers from her village. The earnings help in sustaining the family of four.

Her father, Haruna Muhammad said her challenge started when she was 6 months old and largely due to poverty, he could not take her for specialized medical attention. He had sold his farm and personal belongings but no progress was recorded in her treatment. At last, he resigned to the sad fate, which many people in his community seem to believe, that her condition is the handiwork of evil spirits.

While presenting the donation of empowerment items to the family, the Commissioner of Women Affairs, Barr. Zubaida Damakka said the state government is touched by the condition of the girl stressing that the government would do all it could to see that Rahma does not feel forsaken.

Items donated to the girl’s mother to start a business include 10 cartons of noodles, 2 bags of detergent, 10 cartons of biscuits, 2 bags of semovita, a bag of rice, a sack of soya bean, 2 gallons of cooking oil 25 liters each and the sum of twenty thousand naira.

I Pray U ll B Blessed And Highly Favoured Like Her

Datz super cool.

Wonder what she thinks everyday

really devastating but thank God for the helpers tho

All the state government donated, is not even up to the value of the wheel chair that a concerned Nigerian gave to her, and still didn't make noise about it,but see how they are taking pictures as if they have broken another Guinness world record by donating indomie that is nearly expired and rice which Lassa fever status has not been verified.

Chai and some of us don't know how to thank God,all we do is to complain,God I Thank you despact what am facing

Nic one

For those that say e- revolution is just for gossip,this is one of the numerous advantage,charity,social cause,employment,info tech and numerous other beneficial thing.

Kai.. I really feel bad for her. I just pray she gets to use these items. Due to poverty don't be surprised they might open a little shop to sell them off

I trust hausa people. You will still see her on the street of kano begging let's say two weeks from now.

Ehya, i wish i could help in my own little way

God bless the commissioner.
