A future physician is becoming computer proficient

Salamatu is 14 years old and attends the Forum for Africa Women Educationalists (FAWE) Primary School for Girls in Freetown, Sierra Leone. She is in the fourth grade — mathematics and reading are her favorite subjects.

Salamatu’s mother, N’mah, is a petty trader that sells fruits in the market — her monthly income of $30 is used to help take care of the home. Her father, Abu Bakarr, is a security guard and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60. Salamatu, her parents, four sisters, four brothers and six dependent relatives live in a three bedroom apartment with no running water and no electricity.

Salamatu loves to learn how to use a computer as it helps her research. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up and knows computer skills will help prepare her to serve people and her country well. She is excited about this learning opportunity and deeply grateful for your support.

Thank you Tiffany, Ramesh, O M, Lauren, Cindy, Richard, Chris and Emily, and Margaret for your empowering support.
