The Flood Destroyed Salamatu's Business, but She's Back in Business Thanks to You!

Many families in Sierra Leone were displaced due to the flooding and mudslide disaster that took place on August 14, 2017.  Your on-going support continues to bring hope to flood victims in Freetown.   Your support helped Salamatu with a microfinance loan so that she could restart her business that had been destroyed by the Flood.

Salamata expresses her gratitude for the loan in this video saying

 Hi, my name is Salmatu a survivor of the August 14th mudslide disaster and also one of the women who benefited from the microfinance loan.  So with the money from the microfinance loan you gave me I will buy bread and I will buy flour, this hay, and other items to sell at my business to support my family.  I want to say thank you and God bless you

Salamuta back in business after flood

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.
