Reaching care, finding friends

Like many other young people we help, Obsa felt shy and isolated before his treatment for a rare condition – Klippel Feil syndrome, which restricted movement in his neck. After years of rejection from his community he felt like he was the only person who was ‘different’. But during his treatment Obsa was able to meet other young people with various impairments, and he made good friends with Ashetu who survived noma. When we spoke to Obsa, he told us how the treatment has helped him and how he does not feel alone anymore.
