Malaria Protection for Haja

Haja lives in Sierra Leone with her father, mother, and sister in a single bedroom, zinc sheet house with no running water and no electricity. She uses a kerosene lamp to study at night and sleeps on a grass bed with her sister.

Her father is a mason and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60. Unfortunately, this is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Haja’s mother is a petty trader with a monthly income of $50 to help with household expenses. Haja’s parents often give assistance to their relatives, which greatly affects the support she receives from her parents.

Haja enjoys playing with her friends, dancing and reading her school notes. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Thank you, Suzette, for your kind donation! Haja does not have to worry about mosquitos anymore!
