A Meal A Day for 3 Boys and Their Grandmother

Yainkain and her grandchildren Edward, Momoh and Abubakkar live in a single bedroom apartment with no running water or electricity in Sierra Leone. Yainkain sells soap and is the main provider of her family with a monthly income of $30, which is not enough to cover the basic needs.

Edward has no parents; he attends the United Mission Council and is in class five. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up. He helps at home by fetching water and washing dishes whenever there is provision to cook. Momoh also has no parents. He attends the United Mission Council Primary School in class four and he wants to be banker when he grows up. He helps out their home by selling cold water for people in his community to help raise money for his school lunch.  Abubakarr is Yainkain’s third child grandchild and he is also an orphan. He attends the United Mission Council primary school in class five. He also helps at home by fetching water and washing dishes whenever there is provision to cook. All of these boys like to play football and are very hard working in school.

Yainkain’s family now enjoys eating a daily meal which was not regular before the bag of native rice was given to them. They were overwhelmed with gratitude when the bag of rice was presented and continually offer thanks to the donors and Develop Africa for providing the rice.
