A 13 YEAR-OLD disabled girl in Chipinge has developed sores which are festering on her stumps as her poor family say they cannot afford to take her
to the doctor.
Nancy Ndoro was abandoned by her mother whose whereabouts
remain unknown and stays with her grandparents.
First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa was moved by the child’s plight and
instructed the local leadership to ensure that the child was taken to hospital
to receive the necessary attention.
“This is not good. How can a child develop such sores and
no one takes action? Please make sure that this child is taken to the hospital,
she needs attention as soon as possible,” she said.
Mr Raphel Zongoro from the department of Social Welfare in
Chipinge said Nancy had not been taken to hospital yet as the district was
still looking for a car to transport her from her home.
“Her grandfather had said he would bring her today so that
we can visit a doctor but he called to say he had failed. We are now in the
process of looking for a car to ferry her from her home to hospital,” he said.
