As a result of a marginal health care system, it is not uncommon for childhood illnesses in Ghana to become debilitating mental handicaps. Mothers have to quit their jobs to stay home and take care of the handicapped children, who are shunned by society because they are thought to have evil spirits. Boarding schools are expensive and potentially dangerous, and even at home a temporary lapse of supervision can be disastrous (the girl holding the baby was raped and impregnated by a man in her village, who has not been identified). Mark Ogbanzo is working to build a school for the mentally handicapped, with a bus system, so that the children can have rehabilitation and supervision during the day, but still live at home, and so that their parents can return to work.
