Two boys survived brutal child sacrifice attacks that have been on the rise in Uganda. They are in Australia to receive life-changing medical treatment.
The day a witch doctor kidnapped four-year-old Jessy for ritualistic sacrifice still haunts his father, Godfrey Ochwo. "When he survived, we took him to the hospital," Ochwo said. "It torments me a lot every day, but he survived." The boy was found by the team from Kyampisi Childcare Ministries , a Ugandan non-profit that supports victims of child sacrifice.
It partners with Kyampisi Childcare Ministries, providing funding that is used to provide rehabilitation and medical attention to survivors of child sacrifice. "Unfortunately, in Uganda, some of the medical interventions and surgeries that some of the survivors require aren't available to them in Ugandan hospitals and not even in local Central Africa," Callanan told SBS News.
