Save Senyo
Senyo has overcome the physical and emotional traumas he endured and is thriving and excelling in school. His teachers say he works very hard and they are amazed at his performance, especially since he never attended school until starting second grade at the age of 16 in 2018. He is quite short for his age, partly due to the hard labor he was forced to perform that created micro-fractures (that often stunt the growth of trafficked children), and his spine injury.

Since his first surgery in 2015, Senyo has grown taller and the metal rods supporting his spine were too short. Therefore, his spine was curving, creating chronic pain.
Senyo needed another surgery costing $10,000 to replace the metal rods, which if left in place, could pierce his skin, become infected and serious complications would arise. His surgeon, Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, said the second operation would be a permanent solution, as he was not expected to grow much more.
RTBF was able to pay $5,000 as a downpayment in order for Senyo to have his surgery, which took place in February 2019 and was a complete success! Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we subsequently raised the remaining balance for his surgery, which included physical therapy and post-op medical care.
