At just three months old, Joseph Ngari faced unimaginable hardship. He was a fragile infant in desperate need of care, protection, shelter, and medical attention. His mother, Mitchelle, was struggling with alcoholism and unable to provide for his most basic needs.
Joseph’s condition was heartbreaking—he was sick, neglected, and so deprived of proper care that he began eating his own waste while his mother was consumed by alcohol. Concerned neighbors intervened, rescuing the child from further harm and urging that he be given immediate help.
Realizing she could not care for him, Mitchelle eventually brought Joseph to Shiphrah Centre, where he could be safe and nurtured. At the Centre, Joseph received urgent medical treatment, proper nutrition, and loving care, giving him a chance to survive and grow.
Today, Joseph’s story is a testimony of rescue and renewal. From being sick and neglected in his earliest months, he now has the opportunity to live, thrive, and find hope in the protection of Shiphrah Centre.
