Musu and her husband live without running water or electricity. Her husband provides for the family by working as a guard, earning only $60 per month–which is not enough to cover the family’s basic needs.

Your gift of a treated bed net is appreciated because it is one of those necessities that neither Musu nor her husband could afford. Thank you, James, for giving Musu the gift of health and protecting her from malaria-carrying mosquitos!

Saffie lives with her mother, father and six other children in a 2-bedroom house with no running water or electricity.  Saffie’s mother is a subsistence farmer, but focuses her efforts on taking care of the home.  Her father is a carpenter, but his monthly salary of $60 per month cannot mean the needs of the family.

Saffie initially enrolled in school at a late age because of challenges her parents faced.  Now that she attends, however, she does not mind the half-mile walk to and from school every day.  Saffie enjoys reading, singing and learning.  She has already shown her commitment to education, and your gift will go a long way in boosting her confidence even more, Erik!  She thanks you for your kind donation of two uniforms, a pair of shoes and a pair of socks.  This future nurse is now dressed for success!

Dear Sahba, Sterling & Melinda and Balynda,

ADAMA lives with her parents, brother and sister in a single bedroom apartment without running water or electricity.  Her mother is a housewife, so the entire family depends on the $60 that Adama’s father earns each month as a trader.

As you might imagine, the family often cannot afford the basic necessities.  However, through your combined generosity, Adama will have vitamin supplements for the next year.  Not only are you helping to keep her dream of becoming a caterer alive, but you’re helping to keep Adama alive as well.  She thanks you – Balynda, Sahba, Sterling and Melinda – and we do too!
