Scholarship Provides Stability for Khadisha

Khadisha was born on August 5, 2000 to a family with a Christian background.  Her father, Salifu is currently unemployed and her mother Elizabeth is disabled and also unemployed.  The family’s income was adversely affected by the past civil war.  Curent economic conditions and unemployment have made it difficult for her parents to secure lasting employment.  Salifu has been able to find occasional short-term work and both he and Elizabeth are looking for permanent employment.

Khadisha has 4 siblings and they live at Kissy, a suburb of Freetown.  The family lives in a zinc sheet home with no pipe-borne water and no electricity.

Khadisha loves to go to school.  Her favorite subjects are RME and ESPN.  Her hobby is reading.  She would like to be a banker when she grows up

Thanks Kayleen, Mark, Lynn, Karen, Dennis, Sterling, Melinda, Rick, Beth, Brad, Alice, Eileen for your donations that have brought stability into Khadisha’s life.
