Good news - we together have once again helped to change the course of life of one more person. A months or so ago, we got to hear of the desperate situation that Hawa was in. Thankfully, we were able to help turn her life around and bring new hope
Hawa is a mother of three children but lost her husband five years ago. She lives in a single bedroom zinc house with no running water and electricity. The floor in her room is not pave and this has been a source of sickness for her children. She is the sole provider of the home. She does domestic work like laundry and cooking for people in the community. Whatever she earns from people she uses it to raise her children. The present hardship in Sierra Leone is making things difficult for Hawa and her children. Domestic jobs are scarcely available now.
Hawa wanted to start a rice business - buying rice in a large bag and then retailing this by cup. This practice is common in Sierra Leone.
From the funds that YOU donated, we provided her with a bag of rice and a big bowl to help launch her business. You can see this in the attached photo.
Thanks to your support, Hawa is now a happy woman. Joshua, our local Coordinator, reports that she is no longer idle. She is now productive - selling rice to help take care of her children She was so grateful for the support you have provided - bringing an income stream and support to her family.
Its heart warming to be in a position to bring hope - and help to change the world one person at a time. We are truly grateful for your support that made this possible.
Let's take this to the next level: Hawa would love to expand her business and we would like to help her with additional seed money that will help her provide / sell complimentary condiments. There is a definite demand for this in her community and your support can make this possible. Could you make a donation of $25 or more today towards this? This would further help Hawa raise her family and eradicate poverty.
Let's together make poverty a thing of the past in Hawa's life - make your donation today! Thanks for your support.
