Orphan girl breaks down in tears
In a moving speech that has since spread across social media, one of the orphaned girls shared how Uzochukwu first visited their rundown living quarters, witnessing firsthand the dire state they were forced to endure.
According to her, their home had leaking roofs and crumbling structures, offering little safety or comfort. But what followed, she said, changed everything.
The foundation launched a comprehensive upgrade of the facility, replacing broken roofs, installing modern toilets, and introducing computer systems the children had previously only seen in their textbooks.
