Omoulorah attends school where she is in grade six. Omoulorah is the oldest of three siblings living with their mother in a single bedroom dwelling with no running water.

Her father died when she was six years old but her mother has continued, though struggling, to raise her and her siblings. Her mother finds it difficult to feed, shelter and clothe her children, but they stick together and live for one another. Omoulorah does light errands for people in the community to help feed the family at home. Although the family is struggling to make ends meet, they continue as one unit.

The donation of nutritional vitamin supplements is a big help to Omoulorah to keep her strong and able to continue helping her family.   Thank you Alyson!

Ibrahim attends a primary school and walks two miles from home to attend school everyday.  He lives with his parents and three sisters in a single bedroom house with no running water or electricity.

Ibrahim’s father has been unemployed for the past three years and engages himself in small scale farming in order to feed his family.  He earns about $50 a month which is not enough to meet the basic needs of the family.  Ibrahim’s mother is a housewife and maintains the care of the home.

Sometimes, Ibrahim goes to bed without food because there is no food in his home.  For this reason, Ibrahim is delighted to have nutritional vitamin supplements.  Thank you Barbara for the donation toward vitamin supplements for Ibrahim.  These vitamins will help Ibrahim with his long walks to reach his school.

Everett lives with his father, mother, sister, and three brothers in a two bedroom house with no running water, but with electricity. His father and mother are co-providers of the home with a total monthly income of $200, which is not enough to cover the basic family monthly needs. His father and mother also support their extended family members both in the capital and the provinces.
