Smiling Siaka holding his vitamin supplements

Siaka Bangura holding his vitamin supplements

Siaka Bangura lives in Freetown, Sierra Leone  in a very humble house with no running water or electricity.  He loves to play soccer and is an avid learner at school.  Siaka’s father is a worker for a local construction company helping to lay bricks.  His mother currently is out of a job and is considering starting a small business selling essential items from the front of their rented apartment.

Siaka taking his daily dosage

Because of the meager household income, the family’s diet has been restrictive and constrained further by the global economic crunch.  They eat on average one meal a day and get by on other scraps.  Fortunately they have close by friends who occasionally invite Siaka to eat with them after school.

Siaka was delighted to become a beneficiary of this program and you can see him happily smiling and holding his box of vitamin supplements.  These supplements ensure his diet is more balanced and complete.

Thanks Susan for making a difference and helping make this possible!
