On August 24th, 2014 a day old child was found dumped inside a pit latrine of a primary School at Nyanmureza commune of Ngozi province of Burundi. The counselor of the area alongside other villagers rescued the child and the child was handed over to a nursing mother for immediate care.
We were intimated with the case and we made a visit to the commune. We discovered that the toilet was actually demolished to bring the child out. Nobody knows the mother of the child and every effort that was made to trap the mother was abortive.
The child’s back was burnt due to the heat of the latrine and had to be admitted in the hospital for some weeks. He also developed a strange growth on the upper part of his back after some days of being rescued from the toilet. The growth had to be operated. Thank God the child was delivered from death and the operation was successful.
It was apparent the child was not having adequate care in the village so we decided to receive the child and care for him in our orphanage. He was brought to our orphanage on November 6th, 2014 at about 10.45am. He was given Kirundi names when he was picked up from the latrine but we also named him FAVOUR.
Favour is just 3 months and 6 days old. He has experienced what many old people will never pray to see in life. He is still receiving treatment in the hospital. We desire that you put favour in your prayers as we believe God for perfect healing for him. Pray also that this Child will fulfill God’s divine purpose and that absolutely nothing will limit him in life.
If God is touching your heart to sow towards favour’s upbringing in our Orphanage we will be grateful to hear from you. I felt like sharing this story with you today to appreciate God for his goodness to this child and also to ask you to intercede for favour. Below are some of his pictures. Remain blessed.
