In Sierra Leone, football gives hope to amputees

In a country where half the population is poor, life for the disabled is even harder. But for some, being able to play football gives meaning to their lives.

70 people including women play in, the Single Leg, the football team made up exclusively of amputee athletes. Being part of this club brings joy and allows some of them to find hope and dignity, even though life remains difficult.

John Wessels went to meet them. Twelve of his photos illustrate this point according to a report by Saidu Bah of AFP.
