Life Story: Meet Rahma Haruna, a girl who lives in a bowl

Rahma Haruna's family have struggled to meet financial obligations to her. Over a million Naira has been invested in curing her.

A touching story of a Kano-based girl, Rahma Haruna, who lives in a bowl has stirred up emotion.

She was born with a rare deformity which caused both her legs and arms to experience stunted growth or no growth all.

 

As a result, her family have had to saddle the responsibility of tending to all her needs, which includes mobility and other domestic activities.

In a bid to find a cure to her unique physical impairment, Haruna’s parents who are Hausa, one of the major tribes in Nigeria, have toiled endlessly in a bid to provide an improved living condition for their daughter.

 

Her father estimated that he has spent over a million Naira to help facilitate this goal but this has not materialized in the direction they had hoped.

Thanks to kindness shown by random strangers on a visit to a shopping mall, the family has been able to handle financial obligations to the little girl who despite her impediment still nurtures an ambition to own a full-capacity grocery store.
