Dancing for Joy at Receiving this Gift!

Batiru lives in a single bedroom house with her father, mother, four sisters, and a brother in single bedroom apartment in Sierra Leone. The apartment has no running water and no electricity.

Her father is a baker and the main provider of the home. He makes about $70 every month, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Her mother is a petty trader and helps her husband in taking care of the home.
Batiru is too young to go to school, and enjoys singing and dancing to traditional songs.

Batiru and the rest of her family use a kerosene lamp for light at night and most of Batiru’s sisters sleep on mats spread on the bare floor.
Thanks for your kind donation, Karen! The mosquito net will protect Batiru and her family from bites as she sleeps!
