Thanks in part to your support six months of computer training was provided to 44 young adults that were directly and indirectly affected by the flood and mudslide disaster in Aug 2017.  Of the 44 students, 28 of them received certificates of completion at a Certificate Award Ceremony held this past month.

How do you study at night?  That's probably a silly question, you turn on your light...right? Well in Sierra Leone it is not that easy,  only about 20%  have access to electricity.  BUT, thanks to your generosity we are working on bringing solar light to students in Sierra Leone, like Calvin pictured above.  Solar lights give Calvin and other students the ability to study at night even though they don't have electricity.

Today is World Malaria Day and the focus is “Zero malaria starts with me”. Malaria is a treatable and preventable disease and thanks to your support more families and individuals like, Fatima, in Sierra Leone, are receiving bed nets to protect their families at night.

We greatly appreciate your on-going support that continues to bring hope to flood victims in Freetown.   Many families in Sierra Leone were displaced due to the flooding and mudslide disaster that took place in August of 2017.   Your support helped build a new home for a family that lost everything in the flood.
