In Nigeria, many people are living with one disability or another. Most of them with a limb loss cannot afford a prosthetic limb. When that happens, life can feel like it has stopped, school pauses, jobs are lost, and confidence fades. #CEDE #CEDEV #TransformingLives

When you lose a limb, life doesn’t just change; it becomes heavier. Every step, every task, every glance from society reminds you that survival now requires twice the strength. #CEDE #CEDEV #ChenEducationAndDevelolment #TransformingLives #ProstheticsForProgress

Someone was asking about CEDE the other day…. Let me tell you a very touching story of Samuel Omakwu; a. 36yo man living in Abuja that lost not only the love of his life and sister to a ghastly accident but also his limb.

Chen Education & Development Empowerment (CEDE) with the support of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) gave hope to Samuel and about 400 others by offering not only sympathy but also hope in form of prosthetic limbs.

In some cases, corrective surgeries were conducted through CEDE - helping individuals regain full use of their natural legs, a life-transforming outcome they never thought possible.

The best of this is that it cuts across everyone from farmers to professors Chen Education & Development Empowerment is giving hope to exactly the people that needed it the most in Nigeria. This “transforming lives” is restoring dream and dignities to people with disabilities.

Imagine how easy life would be for an average Nigerian that needs a prosthetic if we have more people supporting this initiative by @cedevng. Kudos to the team.

Watching this video of Chen Education and development intervention last night made me so emotional. In a tough country like ours, disability literally bring lives to a halt. So watching @Cedev timely intervention for people living with disability was heartwarming. CEDE youtu.be/zhzq66x83sg

It is sad what people go through when they lose their limbs through no fault of theirs; accidents, illness, violence happens and their world comes crashing into darkness and silence, they cannot be seen and cannot be heard. youtu.be/zhzq66x83sg
