The Story
The Journey
Financials
Say hello to Bokang! A Grade 4 learner. She was born with a congenital condition that led to a below-knee amputation known as trans tibial on her right leg.
In 2017, she became a beneficiary of the Jumping Kids Prosthetic Fund and was fitted with her first lower limb prosthesis, sponsored by the charity.
Initially it was difficult for Bokang to get used to moving around on her prosthesis. However, she was inspired by other kids that are using their prostheses to navigate life at school and at home.
She started running with her prosthetic device and discovered her love for it.
Now, empowered by her prosthetic equipment, Bokang is striving to inspire other children living with physical challenges to never stop trying and to always hold on to their faith.
