Provisions During the Rainy Season

The Nyandebo family lives at Edmond Street in the Wellington community of Sierra Leone. Their apartment consists of a single bedroom; there is no running water and no electricity.

Hawa, the mother, is a single parent, a seamstress, and a volunteer in a tailoring school. She is the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $30. This is not enough money to cover the basic needs of the home. Hawa has two children and three dependent relatives living with her. Her daughter Mabia attends the Caleb Junior secondary school and she is in form three. Mabia wants to be a lawyer when she grows up. Hawa’s son Kachaquee is a pupil of the Caleb primary school and is in class four. He wants to be a banker when he grows up.

The Nyandebos extend their thanks to Kylie for the provision of a bag of rice in this rainy season.
