Kadiatu Feels Protected Now!

Kadiatu_1
Dear Sarah,

Kadiatu and her four sisters live with their mother in a 1-bedroom apartment without electricity or running water. Her father’ passing forced Kadiatu’s mother to become the family’s sole provider with a monthly income of only $50 a month, which makes it extremely difficult to meet the needs of a family of six. There are many necessities that are simply unattainable.

With your generous donation of a treated bed net, you have helped this family afford a necessary means to ward of malaria-carrying mosquitos. The entire family is sincerely grateful, Kadiatu, especially, extends her heartfelt thanks to you Sarah!
