A Non-governmental Organisation, Irede Foundation, has said giving limbs to child amputees will greatly reduce the stigma they face in the society.
This was stated by the foundation’s Executive Director, Crystal Chigbu, at the 10th-year celebration of the foundation.
Chigbu stressed the need for child amputees to get prosthetic limbs as it would make it easier for them to live normal lives as well as lessen the burdens of their parents.
She said, “So far, we have given over 300 limbs to children across Nigeria but there are still so many in the waiting pool. We need to help these children live normal lives. Each limb costs N1m and above. We need all the help and support we can get as foundation to also help this children in return.
