Thank you, Patrice, for providing Hawa with a mosquito net. She can sleep safe and protected from mosquito bites, which keeps the threat of malaria at bay. Thank you!

Hawanatu lives with her parents, two sisters and brother. They live in a 1-bedroom zinc sheet house that has no running water, electricity, nor beds – but it is the best that  Hawanatu’s father can do with a monthly income of only $80.

Maintaining a well-balanced diet is a challenge, but your generous donation of vitamins will make a tremendous difference in Hawanatu’s life. She can keep singing and dancing, with even more strength and vigor because of your kindness.

Bennett, Thomas, Venkat and Yasmina: Hawanatu and her family thanks you, and so do we!
