April 22 is Earth Day. The 13th Sustainable Development Goal is to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. In Sierra Leone, the serious and accelerating rate of deforestation is not only threatening biodiversity and ecosystem balance in the country but is also contributing to global climate change. In Freetown, the run-off water from the surrounding hills results in flooding and loss of property each year.
World Malaria Day is April 25 and this year's theme is "Zero malaria starts with me.” Our goal is to make sure every individual and family in Freetown has a bed net to prevent malaria. Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are an effective ongoing source of protection to prevent Malaria by protecting families while they sleep at night. We are so thankful for your support that provides these long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) to families and individuals, like Alfred & Bintu, in Freetown.

Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated as it continues to make an impact on the future leaders in Freetown. Thanks in part to your support, 41 kindles were distributed at El-Bethel Academy and Success Tall Academy Nursery and Preparatory School.
Several months ago, 103 solar books were distributed to students in Sierra Leone. The solar books had been provided by a remarkable young lady named Cassidy who explained that she was passionate about helping to provide solar lights to kids in Africa. She had heard about and researched the situation in Africa - where many kids in Africa struggled to study at night, in the dark.
Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated and is helping girls get their education at the FAWE Girls School. This school year FAWE has 40 girls (ages 8-11 years) from classes 4,5 and 6 taking computer classes. These girls are excited and eager to learn and are thankful for the opportunity.
We greatly appreciate your support for future Sierra Leone leader, Stacy. Your support helped cover her school-related expenses including- uniforms, books, school supplies, school fees, and related costs. Funds also helped cover school lunch, transportation costs to school - bus fare. Stacy is very thankful for the support she received to continue her education.
