Success Stories

This is an incident that happened at a fairly big village called Bafodia in the Wara Wara Bafodia chiefdom, Koinadugu District with a student called Samba Hathuma Kamara age 15. He is attending the Modham Junior Secondary School in Bafodia. His father’s name is Musa Dusu Kamara and mothers name is Hathuma Tenneh Kamara. It was on Monday afternoon in the month of February 2024, that Samba came from school and went to his father’s farm site; he was very hungry but met no food at the farm site. It was the end of the mango season, and it was at a time when mangoes were almost getting scarce. Being very hungry he decided to climb a mango tree which is on the farm site. The mangoes that he was about to pick were on the extreme end of the tree, in Sierra Leone they often call those that type of mangoes “Doctor Mangoes”. He attempted to pick the mango and the stick break he fell and his top leg bone break/fractured. Several attempts were made within the Health Units in Bafodia but they could not cure the broken bone. Currently, the bone at the top part of the leg has expose as seen in the picture below. This child was cured by little Steps through funds from our partners in Italy. Musa has started going to school after his treatment and he and his parents were extending sincere thanks to Little Steps and the Italian partners who made him gained his health.
