In the quiet farming community of Santrokofi Bome in the Oti Region lives a resilient woman named Victoria, whose life story captures both the strength and struggles of motherhood in the face of adversity. A devoted mother of three children with special needs, Victoria has become the sole pillar of her family after her husband fell gravely ill.
Victoria and her husband once shared a modest but peaceful life as rice farmers, working tirelessly to feed their family and build a small home. However, their lives took a heartbreaking turn when her husband developed a severe medical condition that now requires him to depend on a catheter. His illness has left him unable to work or assist in caring for their children, placing an overwhelming burden on Victoria.
Each day begins before sunrise for the struggling mother, who must juggle tending to her children’s needs, managing the farm, and maintaining their household—all by herself. Despite her exhaustion and limited means, she continues to persevere with quiet courage, determined to provide a sense of normalcy and dignity for her family.
The couple’s three children, each with their own special needs, require constant attention, care, and emotional support. This has made it nearly impossible for Victoria to focus fully on her farming activities, which remain the family’s only source of livelihood. As a result, their financial situation has worsened, forcing them to rely on the goodwill of neighbors and well-meaning individuals to survive.
Victoria’s dream is simple: to complete the roofing and ceiling of a small house she has managed to build through years of toil and sacrifice. Currently, the structure stands exposed to harsh weather conditions, making it unsafe for her and the children, especially during the rainy season. “All I ask for is help to finish the roofing,” she said tearfully. “So my children can have a safe place to sleep.”
Her plea has caught the attention of a few humanitarian organizations and individuals, including Klicks Africa Foundation, which has begun advocating for assistance on her behalf. The foundation is calling on philanthropists, NGOs, and corporate bodies to come to Victoria’s aid and help restore hope to her struggling family.

The call for help is not just about charity—it is about compassion and solidarity with a family that has refused to give up, even in the face of severe hardship. Every cedi or dollar donated will directly impact their lives, bringing them closer to completing their shelter and easing their daily struggles.
As the sun sets over the green fields of Santrokofi Bome, Victoria continues to hold onto faith, believing that kind-hearted Ghanaians and well-wishers around the world will come to her rescue. Her story serves as a reminder that even in the midst of struggle, hope can still shine—if only others choose to light the way.

Meet Victoria, a devoted mother of three children with special needs, living in Santrokofi Bome in the Oti Region.
Victoria and her husband are both hardworking farmers who grow rice to support their family. Unfortunately, life has become extremely difficult for them. Her husband, who used to help her care for the children, has fallen seriously ill and now depends on a catheter. This has left Victoria to shoulder nearly all the responsibilities on her own from caring for three children with special needs to managing the farm and the home.
I am reaching out to everyone who has the means or heart to help this family. Any form of support financial or material will go a long way in easing their burden and giving them hope.
If you are moved to support Victoria and her family.
All she asked me for was help to do the ceiling and roofing of a small house she had built..
