Agnes has three sisters and four brothers, which may be why this 7-year-old wants to be a seamstress when she gets older. Her family’s two bedroom apartment in Sierra Leone has no electricity, but Agnes’ parents do what they can to make it a comfortable home on her father’s monthly salary of $70.

Agnes and her family know how malaria can devastate a person’s health, so they are extremely appreciative of your kind donation. Thank you, A, for helping Agnes sleeps at night and making her future outlook brighter!

The Bangura family lives in a single bedroom mud house with no running water or electricity. Since the passing of her husband, Kadiatu has been caring for their six children by herself. She earns about $50 each month as a petty trader, but cannot provide all that her family of seven requires.  Their situation is so dire that one of Kadiatu’s children can no longer attend school because there is not enough money to pay the fees.

The bag of rice you donated has filled their bellies and lifted their spirits.  Your kind gesture has given the Bangura family renewed hope, Sarah, and they thank you for that priceless gift!

This joint household in Sierra Leone is comprised of two family units. Winifred and her husband, Amidu, have a daughter named Amilda. Sonia and Gibrilla have two children – Ramatu and Mohamed. Winifred and Sonia manage the home and care for the children. Amidu is a mason, and the main provider of the entire household because Gibrilla is currently unemployed. Amidu’s monthly income of $60 can hardly meet the basic needs of this household of seven.

With your generous donation of one bag or rice, Ray and Lael, you have blessed two grateful families and helped make their children’s future outlook brighter! They express their deepest gratitude for your kindness, Ray and Lael. Thank you!

Alberta lives with her mother, father, three sisters, two brothers, a uncle, an aunt, a cousin and grandmother in a three bedroom apartment with no running water, but with electricity.

Her father is a driver and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $70. This is not enough to cover the basic needs of the home. Her mother is a housewife.

Alberta is ten years of age, and she is a pupil of the FAWE primary school in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Alberta’s favorite subjects are Mathematics and Creative Practical Art. Her hobbies are reading and singing. She wants to be an accountant when she grows up.

Receiving computer training makes her marketable and serviceable in whatever community she finds herself.

Thank you for the gift!

Salamantu is fourteen years old. She attends the FAWE primary school in Sierra Leone and she is in class four. Mathematics and reading are her favorite subjects at school, and her hobby is reading.

Salamatu’s mother is a petty trader who sells fruits in the market. With a monthly income of $30, she helps take care of the home. Her father is a guard and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60. This is not enough to cover the basic needs of the home.

Salamatu, her parents, four sisters, four brothers and six dependent relatives live in a three bedroom apartment with no running water and no electricity.

In the future Salamatu plans on becoming a medical doctor. She is thrilled to receive computer training because the skills will help her when she does research. She will be in a proper position to serve people and her country well.

Thank you for your combined gift of a year of computer training!

Fatmata lives with her parents and eight brothers and sisters in a 1-bedroom apartment with no running water or electricity. Her father’s monthly income of $70 cannot be stretched far enough to meet the needs of this family of 10.

Your combined gift means an entire year of vitamin supplements for a growing child.  She and her parents express their sincerest gratitude to you – Jeannie, Tharindu, Sterling & Melinda – and so do we!

Salamatu is five years old and she lives with her parents, three sisters and four brothers in Sierra Leone in a 2-bedroom apartment that has no electricity. Her father, the sole provider of the family, works as an auto mechanic and brings home $70 a month, which is not enough to cover many of this large family’s basic needs.

Salamatu knows how devastating contracting malaria can be, and she dreams of becoming a doctor when she grows up. The treated mosquito bed net that you, Bri, had generously donated ensures a good night’s sleep for Salamatu and helps make her future look brighter! Salamatu and her family express their deepest gratitude for your kindness, Bri. Thank you!

Salamatu is 12-years-old, and one of her parent’s six children.  The family lives in a two bedroom apartment without electricity or running water.  Salamatu’s father earns $60 per month as a mason, but cannot provide all that his family of eight requires.  So, in addition to doing most of the domestic work at home, Salamatu helps her mother sell fried food at night to earn extra money for the home.

Your generous donation of a treated bed net has given Salamatu the confidence to sleep soundly at night after a long and full day.  She and her parents thank you, Bri!

Ramatu, Mohamed and Isatu are from the same community.  Ramatu, a young mother, dreams of becoming a banker.  She and her child live with Ramatu’s parents in a 2-bedroom house with no running water.  Mohamed is a student with plans to attend university and then attend medical school.  Isatu works as a petty trader to provide for her ill husband and their four
school-aged children. The $60 she earns each month is nowhere near what is needed to meet the family’s basic needs.

Ramtu, Mohamed and Isatu each know what it is to be in need, so they are grateful for the treated bed nets they received.  Now, they are joined by more than being neighbors.  They are joined by your kindness, Bri, and express their sincerest appreciation for your donation!
