Sento lives with her father, mother, three brothers, and three sisters
in a single bedroom zinc sheet home with no running water and no electricity
at Upper Beccle Street in the Wellington community. Her father is a cobbler and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $50, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Her mother is a housewife who does not have the capital to start a business.

Sento knows poverty very well. Her parents usually depend on their neighbors to help them with ingredients needed to prepare meals.
Only one of Sento’s sisters goes to school. Most of the children sleep on mats spread on the bare floor and their parents sleep on a savanna bed.
Thank you Charlie, Julia, and Justin, for your gift. You have provided Sento with a year’s worth of vitamins! A big thank you to Charlie for donating a six month supply of vitamins! Thank you!

Ada is a widow. After raising five children of her own, she is now caring for three grandchildren and a nephew in a 2-bedroom apartment without running water.  Ada works as a petty trader, but earns only $50 each month, which is not nearly enough to cover the needs of her family.

Ada responded with sheer delight when she received the bag of rice that your donation made possible.  Not only did you help fill their bellies, Charlie, you helped fill their hearts.  On behalf of her entire family, Ada expresses her sincerest gratitude!

Samuel likes football and drumming.  He lives with his parents and two sisters in a 1-bedroom zinc sheet house without running water.  While his mother manages the home and cares for a newborn, Samuel’s father works as a carpenter.  A monthly household income of $80 means there isn’t always enough for this family of 5 to eat.

Your kind gift means that Samuel will receive the supplemental nutrition he needs to keep running, drumming and growing.  Thanks to you – Angela, Megan and Susan – Samuel has a better chance of realizing his dreams of becoming a carpenter too! A big thank you goes out to Susan for donating a six month supply of vitamins! Your generosity is graciously accepted!

FATMATA lives with her husband and six children in a 2-bedroom mud house with no running water or electricity.  Her husband is a driver, and the main provider for his family of eight. His monthly income of $70 is not enough to cover the family’s needs. The family cannot afford to buy mosquito nets. However, mosquito nets are the most efficient way to prevent Malaria.

Your kind gift means Fatmata can sleep soundly, without worrying about contracting malaria from a mosquito bite.  She expresses her deepest gratitude to you, Pooja!

Agnes has four children of her own, but she and her husband are also raising two grandchildren. This extended family of eight lives in a 3-bedroom house without running water. Both Agnes and her husband work, but their combined salary of $120 per month can be stretched only so far.

Your gift of a mosquito net may seem simple, but it is life changing for Agnes. You have given her the gift of health, Pooja, and Agnes thanks you tremendously.

Joseph, Mariama and Mabinty each received a bed net thanks to your donation. Joseph is a university student, living in a 1-bedroom mud house with no running water or electricity.  Mariama is a house wife who takes care of her child and grand-child. Mabinty and her husband are raising three children.

None of them have much material wealth, but will continue to strive towards the best and brightest future. By providing them with treated mosquito nets, you keep them safe from malaria and consequently help protect their futures. Thank you so much Paavnee; the three are so grateful for your generosity!

Alex is excited about going to school, but he’s still too young. For now, he spends his days with his mother in their 1-bedroom house without running water or electricity.  His father works, but the $40 a month that he earns has to support his immediate family and Alex’s grandparents.

Unfortunately, Alex does not always get the food and nutrition he needs.  Through your gift, Alex receives vitamin supplements for a whole year! This will help him live a healthier life. Good health is such a precious gift, Paavnee; we are so grateful for your donation. Thank you!

Adama has known only poverty.  She is the last of six children, and her family of 8 live in a zinc sheet home without running water or electricity. Adama’s father is a soldier, but his monthly salary of $100 is not enough to meet the needs of a large family with growing children.

Your generous donation means Adama will get daily doses of much needed nutrition. Through your combined gifts, Adama will receive vitamins for a whole year!  If you could see Adama’s smile, you would know how much she thanks you all. We especially thank Mukesh for providing six months of supplements. Thank you again!

Sento, Isatu and Mariama have a few things in common. They live in apartments in the same community and are all mothers.

Isatu lives with her husband and three children in a 2-bedroom apartment with neither running water nor electricity. Mariama lives with her husband and two children in a 1-bedroom apartment.

Through your generosity, these three women received treated mosquito nets. Sento, Isatu and Mariama express their sincerest thanks for your donations.  They will sleep safely and more soundly because of all of you! Thank you so much!
