Dear friends,
Have you ever had the opportunity to listen to the story of someone who lost all in a disaster?
In this video, Jane tells us what it is like to lose everything- family, business, and possessions. She is clearly distraught and beside herself.
Watch the gripping video
Psychological trauma is defined as is a type of damage to the mind that occurs as a result of a severely distressing event. Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one's ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience.
Sadly and unfortunately, psychological trauma is often overlooked.
Thankfully, because of YOUR support, we are paying attention to this area. We are not overlooking this. We are providing psycho-social counseling to help bring healing and restore hope to kids, youths, and adults. More information on this will be provided in the next report in 1-2 weeks.
Jane asks for your help to get back on track. Your donation today will help provide microfinance loans to Jane and others – helping them regain self-sufficiency. Thank you so much for your generosity.
We value and appreciate your partnership
The Develop Africa team
