Dear Brian,

Salay lives with his father, mother, and his sister in a single bedroom home in a populated family house with no running water and poor toilet facilities at the Mellon street in Wellington community.

His father is a petty trader and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $100, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. His mother is a housewife, and does not have a job, and has no capital to start a business.

Salay attends the Caulker Preparatory School in the municipality and he is in second grade.

Salay’s father is the eldest of the family, which means he is the one responsible for feeding the rest of the family from the meager income he earns each month.

Salay loves cooking. He wants to be a caterer when he grows up. Salay and his sister sleep on a mat spread on the floor at night.

Thank you, Brian, for your gift. Your donation of a year supply of vitamins gives Salay the chance at a healthier lifestyle! Thanks again!

Rugiatu is 10 years old.  When she is not playing her favorite game “six-cup”,  Rugiatu dreams of becoming a nurse.  She lives with her parents, three sisters and brother in a 2-bedroom apartment that has electricity but no running water.  Her father is unemployed and her mother earns only $70 per month as a petty grocer. As you can imagine, there isn’t enough to meet the basic needs of her family.

Fiona, Kathryn, Michael and Stephanie– you are the reason Rugiatu can receive vitamin supplements.  These supplements will boost her diet, and keep this young girl growing healthily.  Thank you so much for providing these vitamins for her!

Fatmata is the mother of a child and the main provider of her home. She works as a petty trader with a monthly income of $50, which is not enough to cover the basic needs of her child and her husband who is presently sick.

The child of Fatmata is not going to school yet because of her age. At times when business is bad, Fatmata launders people in her neighborhood just to see that food is on her family table.

Thank you, Marta, for your gift. The bed net helps protect Fatmata from malaria!
