Her father passed on and her mum too is weak. Now, she is under the care of her elder sister. That's the story of 25-year-old Amina.

Amina's elder sister, Ummu Mumuni tells JoyNews the family didn't notice Amina's condition until she started to falter and her legs became weaker.

A situation that drove them to the hospital for medication.

"Her father passed away and her mom too is weak. I am the one taking care of her. Whenever we go, I have to carry her on the back or board a taxi. She can't do anything for herself."

Amina Mohammed struggled in school from childhood. Like many children living with disabilities, she frequently had problems because she could not go to school alone. Someone had to carry her on the back every day to and from school.

Then she hit the breaking point. She dropped out of school in JHS 2, when her school moved to a new site on a building that is not disability friendly.

"I was in school, but when we were on the verge of being promoted to JHS3, my school was moved to Ayigya New Site, so I had to quit because I could not go there. I wanted to become a doctor so that I could also help persons with disability," she explained.

Amina Mohammed's dream was to become a doctor to help persons living with disabilities, but that dream didn't materialise because of her condition.

She was a student at Sakafiya Islamic school until 2010, when she had to drop out of school.

Amina missed out of the basic education certificate examination (BECE) and couldn't pursue her dream of becoming a doctor.

She blames the unfriendly structure of the school of having crashed her dream. But she isn't giving up in life.

Amina's sister says, Amina had to quit because they could not carry her on a wheelchair.

"We always carried her on the back," she laments. It has been 23 years of being grounded, but she believes she will walk again.

"I also know my sickness is ordained by Allah. He is the healer and I pray He heals me."

But Amina feels sad when she see people walking.

"Sometimes, I wonder when I can also walk and do whatever others do."

Living with a condition that doesn't discriminate yet leaves its victims discriminated against.

"I can sit in silence and wonder when can I also walk. When something happens outside the house, everyone goes out to witness, but I will be left alone. So I always wonder, oh Allah when will I also have a chance to watch events outside the house?"

Amina wants public support to be able to live fulfilling life.
