Mohammed Kadiri, aged 21 is a male client of the Programme. He comes from Bawku within the operational area. He suffered from osteomyelities and was not sent to School by her parents. Over 6 years ago, Mohammed Kadiri was identified by the Programme through a community volunteer. He was subsequently referred to the Bawku Othopaedic/Physiotherapy Project for further diagnoses and intervention. The results of the orthopaedic nurse proved positive and he was thereafter transferred to the Nsawam Orthopaedic Hospital for further attention. At Nsawam, his right leg was amputated through a surgical operation. The Programme in collaboration with Lillian Fundation supported the client to acquire an artificial limb to enhance his mobility.
Furthermore, the Project under the auspices of the PWS&D, Canada enrolled Mohammed Kadiri into Project’s Vocational Training Centre in 2009 where he learned integrated skills in dressmaking, batik, Tie and Dye, soap production and functional literacy. He picked up very fast and graduated successfully in 2011. Currently, he is lucratively engaged in dressmaking and batik, Tie and Dye Business and generates an average of GHC60.00 per week. He has also become a master trainer with about 2 apprentices. He is able to fend for himself, his wife and some extended family members. All these positive impacts on the life Mohammed wouldn’t have been possible but for the support of the PWS&D, Canada. Recently, during a monitoring visit conducted by the vocational skills instructor , Madam Lucy Wandusim, Kadiri could hide his joy. He was full of praises to the programme and the PWS&D, Canada for offering him the necessary support to turn his life around.
