She Thought She Was Useless
A forty-six-year old lady named Namateni Banda lives in a village called Kawamba Villege. She lives in the area of Traditional Tribal Authority Mponela in Dowa District. This is the first district or state north of the capital city of Lilongwe, Malawi, Central Africa.
Namateni was able to walk until 1994 when she became very sick. Her legs were paralyzed and she was no longer able to get around except to crawl and her hands and knees.
Her husband divorced her because she could not walk, and help with the many chores that were needed around their house. He left her with two children.
Namateni came to Blessings to get a wheelchair sent for her by Free Wheelchair Mission and the Malawi Project. She asked that you be told.
“When my husband divorced me I thought I am a useless person, but today I have realized there are good people who care about me. You are heroes to me. May God bless you so that you can do the same for other people. I have been straggling to raise support for my children, but I am now sure this wheelchair will support my family, and not just me alone. I would like to inform you that because of you my children will now go to school and in my house I will have enough food and other needs.”
