Salay, Alfred, Ramatulai, Umu, and Ibrahim live in Sierra Leone as a happy family. Salay and Alfred are in the third and first grade. Ramulai attends Secondary school and Umu goes to the business college nearby. Ibrahim is the sole provider for the family and works as a mason, earning $40 per month.

These low wages are not enough to supply the basic necessities for this family of five. Ibrahim wishes to protect his family from the threat of malaria, but cannot afford to do so.
Door of Hope provides treated mosquito nets for families at risk in Sierra Leone. When one person in a community is protected at night by a treated net, they decrease the likelihood of others around them getting malaria too.

Thank you, Marybeth and Joseph, for helping prevent malaria from spreading to this family. Ibrahim and Door of Hope could not have protected these children without your aid and care. Thank you again, Marybeth and Joseph, for supporting Door of Hope.
