Enable the Children (ETC) is a team of local and expatriate staff who have provided Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, care, and support services to over 1,000 children living with disabilities in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Enable The Children

In Sierra Leone, widespread cultural misunderstanding of disability, complicated by the lack of health care or other public support services, makes children living with physical and mental disabilities some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

Geoff and Carrie Jo Cain

Geoff and Carrie Jo are part of the Kamakwie Action Team, comprised of folks interested in supporting the work at Kamakwie Wesleyan Hospital (KWH) in various ways. The starting point is working alongside the national leadership to help fill gaps, raise awareness of needs, brainstorm problems, and consider ways of raising financial support for KWH. In addition, Carrie teaches research at one of the University Nursing Schools.
Carrie assisted in developing a Cervical Cancer "See and Treat" program which has been incredibly successful.  National interest is rising in this unique, effective, approach and she hopes to continue supporting efforts like this that are life-changing and open doors to share Jesus’ love to women in their villages. 
Geoff and Carrie Jo have also started a widow’s project to provide ways for widows to support themselves in Sierra Leone's challenging economy. Geoff is working with Bakkar, a successful Sierra Leonian businessman who cares deeply for widows. The project promotes individualized counseling, training, and economic assistance and establishes a personalized plan to give widows and their families a foundation for a new start.

Geoff and Carrie Jo are supported by Faith Church through Global Partners - The Wesleyan Church.
