Salay and her family feel blessed!

Salay is a mother of two children, Ngozi and Ekeneh, and the aunt of Abubakarr. She lives in the Wellington municipality of Sierra Leone. Salay was a nurse trainee and her husband, Jonathan, was staying with the rest of the family. However, Jonathan left their family four years ago, so she is no longer learning nursing.

When Jonathan left, Salay had to remain home to care for her children and her nephew. Her daughter Ngozi attends the Vicrays community primary school and is in class four; she wants to be a lawyer when she grows up. Salay’s son Ekeneh is in form two and wants to be a banker when he grows up. Her nephew Abubakarr wants to go to the university to fulfill his dream of being a lawyer. All of these challenges and the need to provide food for the home make life difficult for Salay’s family.

The family was so delighted when the bag of native rice was presented to them and they express their thanks to you for the provision. Salay said it was a great blessing for their family and had she the strength, she would have lifted the presenter from Develop Africa up in appreciation! Though the academic challenge still remains, the family has got food in the house to sustain them for the next three months.
