Sorie is an 11-year-old who lives with his parents and four siblings. Sorie’s father is the main provider for this family of seven, but his monthly salary as a driver is only $70. As you might imagine, this is often not enough to meet the family’s basic needs.

Despite his humble circumstances, Sorie dreams of becoming a medical doctor. Your generous donation means that Sorie will receive supplemental nutrition for a year that is essential for a healthy body and mind. The health of a future healer is protected because of you, Laurent, and Sorie and his parents thank you!

Abu, Emmah, and Mbalay now have something great in common, but this was not always the case.  Abu is a mason who lives with his wife and child in a 1-bedroom apartment without running water or electricity. Emmah is a student and lives with her parents, three sisters, and three brothers in a mud house with no electricity or running water. Mbalay and her husband are raising four children in a 2-bedroom house, also without running water or electricity.

Through your kind donation of treated bed nets, they are now connected by what they have – not just by what they do not. They are now protected from malaria thanks to your generosity! Abu, Emmah and Mbalay sincerely thank you, Laurent, for the difference your gift will make in their lives!

Musukulah lost her husband during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Now, she and her six children are living in a 1-bedroom apartment without running water or electricity. They have been surviving on the generosity of family and loved ones, but this help has been infrequent and inconsistent.

Musukulah believes that soap making can turn things around for her and her children, so she was overwhelmed by your kind donation. Musukulah sincerely thanks you, Laurent, and promises to seize this opportunity with the greatest possible energy! Thank you for helping Musukulah start her own business!

The Fofanah family lives in a small home without running water. They were so surprised when a bag of rice was presented to them that they thought a mistake had been made.

With eight mouths to feed, there are usually several less than full bellies each night. The bag of rice you generously donated has changed that. They are extremely grateful to you, Laurent, and express their sincerest thanks!

Ann Marie is 9 years old. She lives with her mother in a 1-bedroom mud house without running water or electricity. Her father deserted the family, so Ann Marie’s mother provides what she can on the $50 a month she earns as a trader.

Ann Marie dreams big, and is already working towards becoming a lawyer when she grows up.  Your kind donation of two sets of uniforms and a pair of shoes has helped Ann Marie believe that dreams can come true. Both Ann Marie and her mother thank you for the big smile of delight you brought to Ann Marie’s face, Laurent!

The Kaindaneh family is an extended one, living in a house without running water. Isatu and her husband had been raising their three daughters, and are now caring for a niece and two nephews after the death of another relative.

The family depends on the kindness of others to cover their basic needs, so your generous donation of a bag of rice is not only timely, but deeply appreciated. The Kaindanehs send heartfelt thanks to you, Laurent, and so do we! Thanks for feeding the family!

Haja is an 11-year-old student with big plans for a career in nursing. The home she lives in with her parents has no running water, but it is the best they can do on Haja’s father’s salary of only $60 per month.

Haja and her parents are so grateful for the pairs of uniforms, socks and shoes you donated. Thanks to you, Laurent, Haja now has more pep in her step as she heads to school each day!

Mohamed, Fanta, Abdul, Fatmata and Jeneba are from different generations but have similar dreams for a brighter future. Mohamed intends to become an accountant, Abdul plans to be a lawyer, and Fatmata and Jeneba want to be bankers. Fanta’s dreams are less for herself than they are for her seven children, whom she struggles to raise on a salary of only $70 per month.

However, Mohamed, Fanta, Abdul, Fatmata and Jeneba are now closer to turning those dreams into reality because of the treated mosquito nets you generously donated. You have helped to protect their health, and their health is their wealth. Mohamed, Fanta, Abdul, Fatmata and Jeneba thank you, Laurent, and so do we!

Fanta, Wurrie, Jeneba, Jelicatu and Kadijatu are from the same community. Fanta and Kadijatu both have three children and work as traders. Jelicatu is also a trader, with two children of her own. Wurrie is a student and young father, living in a 1-bedroom house without running water or electricity. Jeneba, the youngest of this group, is a student with dreams of becoming a banker.

Although your donation of treated mosquito nets may seem relatively small when compared to the great need that exists in our world, it is invaluable to Fanta, Wurrie, Jeneba, Jelicatu and Kadijatu.  You have protected them from malaria, Elizabeth, and they cannot express their gratitude enough!
