Nurturing Nations

Many children in Ghana born with special needs (e.g., birth defects, developmental disorders, etc.) are physically abused or killed. Some parents believe these “spirit” children are a curse on the family, and to remove the curse, request that a local Vodun priest fatally wound, often through blunt force or poison, and leave the child to die. In many areas, leaders have banned killing spirit children but reports suggest that this practice still persists in some parts of Ghana., Our hope is to complete construction of the Nurturing Nations home for children so that we can provide a safe haven for children with special needs and children rescued from child trafficking. This channel will show videos and updates about what we are doing in order to rescue these children. #Ghanarescue  Nurturingnations.org
