From Silence to Smiles: How a Donation Gave Amina Her First Words

Fund a child’s first word! Your donation of KSH 9,500 supports speech therapy for autistic children at TAFI. Help give a voice to the voiceless. At just four years old, Amina had never spoken a single word.

Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, she struggled to express her needs, emotions, or even respond to her name. Her mother, a single parent living in Rongai, had exhausted all options—until she found hope at The Autism Foundation International (TAFI).

🌟 The Turning Point: Donor-Funded Speech Therapy

When Amina joined TAFI, she was enrolled in a donor-sponsored speech therapy program. With consistent one-on-one sessions, visual aids, sensory tools, and patient guidance from our therapists, something remarkable happened: Amina whispered “Mama.”

It was the first word her mother ever heard from her.

Tears flowed freely that day, and every session since has built on that powerful milestone. Today, Amina can form simple phrases, follow instructions, and even engage in classroom routines.

This transformation was made possible by a single donation of just Ksh 7,500, which covered one month of specialized speech therapy and essential therapy resources.

📌 How You Can Help More Children Like Amina

• Ksh 2,500 covers one week of speech therapy.
• Ksh 7,500 funds a full month of therapy sessions for one child.
• Ksh 30,000 supports therapy and developmental tools for 4 children for one month.

🎯 Target: Raise Ksh 150,000 to sponsor 20 children for speech therapy in the next 2 months.

Your donation isn’t just money—it’s the gift of a voice. It’s the moment a parent hears “Mama” or “Thank you” for the first time. It’s unlocking a future that once felt impossible.
