The Kargbo family –  all ten of them – lives in a rented, two bedroom apartment with no running water or electricity. As a driver, the father earns only $80 per month, which is far less than required to meet the needs of his large family.

Since receiving the bag of rice you generously donated, every member of the Kargbo family is certain to have at least one regular meal each day. It may not seem like enough, but it is so much more than they have had. You cannot imagine how sincerely grateful the Kargbo family is to you, Chris! You have changed their lives! Thank you!

Mariatu lives in Wellington with her family. She lives in a single bedroom apartment with no running water and no electricity. Her husband is a tailor 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. To help take care of the home, Mariatu does petty trading.

Thanks to your donation, Mariatu received a mosquito net that will keep her safe from malaria as she sleeps. Thank you for providing safety, Mike!

Seray lives with her parents, brothers and sisters in a 2-bedroom house without electricity or running water. Her father is a driver, and the sole breadwinner, but earns only $60 a month. Seray does light errands for her neighbors in order to raise money for her school lunch each day.

Seray wants to be a nurse, and knows how important it is to “dress the part”, so she was delighted to receive the pair of uniforms, shoes and socks that you donated. With her new uniform, Seray can attend school looking smart! Thank you for showing concern for this budding caregiver, Laurent!

Sahr is married and has four children. His family lives in a two-bedroom apartment with no electricity or running water. Sahr earns just $70 per month as a driver, and struggles to meet his family’s basic needs.

Through your donation, you have helped to ensure that the sole provider for this family of six remains strong and healthy. His new mosquito net keeps him safe from mosquitoes with malaria. Sahr thanks you, Ted, and so do we!

Tamba raised ten children of his own.  Now, this widower lives with three of his grandchildren in a 2-bedroom house without running water.

Your kind gift of a treated bed net means Tamba is protected from malaria-carrying mosquitoes.  Tamba thanks you, Srikanth, for helping to ensure that he is healthy enough to see his grandchildren grow strong.

Aminata is seven years old. When she’s not playing her favorite local game, Aminata is dreaming of becoming a doctor.  She lives with her parents and two sisters in a one bedroom apartment with no running water or electricity.  It is the most her parents can afford on their combined monthly income of around $60.

At times, Aminata has a poor diet because there simply is not enough money to meet the family’s basic needs. So, your combined generosity means a year of supplemental nutrition that Aminata so desperately needs. Thank you all for donating and collectively strengthening the health of Aminata!

Mohamed, Osman, Foday, Abu and Teddy may look like little boys and young men now, but they are actually professionals in the making. Among them you’ll find budding journalists, medical doctors and businessmen.

Not only are their futures bright, but your kind donation has brightened their present realities as well. The treated bed nets mean worry-free nights and protection for these youngsters from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Mohamed, Osman, Foday, Abu and Teddy thank you, Elizabeth, and so do we!

Sally, Kelfala, Salifu, Saffie and Theressa are now sleeping more soundly. All of them live in homes without running water and some do not have electricity, creating the kind of environment in which malaria-carrying mosquitoes thrive. Since their families have minimal monthly incomes, they cannot spare their resources to pay for the prevention or treatment of malaria.

Your generous donation of treated bed nets means necessary protection for those who are not able to protect themselves. Sally, Kelfala, Salifu, Saffie and Theressa express their deepest gratitude to you, Laurent, and so do we!

The Turay family is as large as it is full of love. Foday is the head of the home and main provider for more than 12 grandchildren that live with him. Each month is a struggle because Foday earns only $70 a month as a mason, but he refuses to turn his back on these little ones.

So overwhelmed was Foday when he received the bag of rice you donated, that he declared the day “a holiday!” You can never know how much your kindness means to this proud patriarch and his grandchildren. Thank you for feeding the mouth of these families! They can never thank you enough, Laurent!
