A Desirable Life for Santigie

Santigie is eighteen years old. He lives with his aunt who is a petty trader that sells sugar.  His aunt is the main provider of the home with monthly income of $60, which is not enough to cover the basic needs of a family of six.

Santigie has completed the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and is awaiting his results. He wants to be a banker when he completes his studies at the university, but living without protection from disease is dangerous.  The bed net will decrease Santigie’s fear and help him focus on his future.

Thanks, Mary, for the gift of a bed mosquito net; Santigie said life without the bed net was dangerous, but now, life is desirable.
