The Salam Kamara family lives in Sierra Leone’s Upper Beccle Street community  in a family house with electricity, but no running water. Marie is the mother of Ibrahim, who is a bright student at the Evangelical Model High School and hopes to become a lawyer someday. Marie is also a step mother to Anita, who is training to become a seamstress. The father and the main provider for the entire family died two years ago, forcing his eldest son, Abdul, to support the family with a monthly income of just $70, which is not enough to cover even the family’s basic of needs. In addition, Abdul is married to Haja and they have three children of their own named Dauda, Mohamed and Mariatu.

They are deeply grateful for your donation of bed nets, which has prepared them to ward off malaria carrying mosquitoes just in time for the rainy season . Thanks, Elizabeth, for providing vital nets for this large and extended family!

The Kanu family has six immediate members-Aminata, her husband and their four children.  However, the Kanus have opened their home to relatives who are far less fortunate.  Her husband tries to provide for everyone on a monthly salary of only $70, but this extended family lives without running water and other basic necessities.

The bag of rice you donated means so much to the Kanu family. Not only will their bellies be filled, but their hearts will be warmed knowing that you care.  The Kanu family expresses their sincerest thanks, Frances, and so do we!

The Barrie family,which includes Mr. Barrie, his wife, their five children and his wife’s cousin, live in a 1-bedroom apartment without running water. Mr. Barrie is gainfully employed as a baker, but the $70 per month that he earns is not enough to meet the needs of his family.

However, with your kind gift of treated mosquito nets, they can now sleep soundly knowing that they are protected from this imminent threat. The Barrie family is extremely grateful for your timely and kind donation, Elizabeth!
