Benin / a physically disabled young found at the Dantokpa market with a bowl of Pure-Water on his head

The young man with motor disabilities is surprised in the largest market in Cotonou selling water in sachets commonly called Pure-Water. Asked, he replied that he preferred his dignity to begging.

It was with a lot of surprise that we discovered this young man with one leg amputated, and moved with crutches in the middle of the largest market in Cotonou, with his bowl of Pure-Water, an example to follow to preserve your dignity instead of begging. We firmly believe that this young boy will serve as a lesson to any disabled person who thinks that disability is a fate and one must wait for charity from others to live.
