Meet Shima
Shima is a barber and has polio which has caused severe shrinking of his muscles, making it difficult to get around.
Before the coronavirus lockdown in Nigeria, he was able to afford his daily needs through his salon business. But during and after the lockdown, his income reduced drastically, and things got really difficult for him.
'I cut people’s hair for a living,' he says. 'As a result of Covid-19, I was out of customers. The biggest challenge I faced was that I was out of business and I could not afford to eat or afford soap to wash. I thank Christian Aid for these gifts.'
