Doreen’s New Net Keeps Her Doing the Things She Loves!

Doreen is the only daughter out of five children born in her family. This family lives in a two bedroom apartment with no running water but with electricity. Doreen was born during the Civil War in Sierra Leone. Her house was vandalized several times by the rebels and much of their property was stolen. Things have never be the same for Doreen’s family ever since. Both of Doreen’s parents help provide for the home. They have a monthly income of $200, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Doreen is very active in the church she is attending at the Wellington community. Doreen wakes up early to fetch water for the home before going to school, seven miles from home. Doreen likes reading English and literature, and wants to be a lawyer when she grows up.

Thank you, Diana, for providing Doreen with a mosquito net! With her new net, Doreen sleeps well, without the worry of catching malaria.
