Sponsor A Child

Name: Samuel

Country: Sierra Leone

Birthday: 12/24/2012

Samuel is a quiet little boy who has passion for football playing. He lives with his parents and grandmother in a small village surrounded by hills and rocks in the north of Sierra Leone. He has one brother and two sisters. They fetch their daily water from a stream that is used for all domestic purposes and not safe for drinking. His father is a farmer and local bicycle mechanic that earns little income. His mother sells fried potato around the community to raise income to provide their daily food. The family occupied a three bed room mud brick house roofed with old zinc which has some leakages during the rainy season. As a result, the family is exposed to cold and fever. Samuel is in school with only a pair of a uniform and plastic sandal. He is very fond of his mother as he runs small errands for her and gather fire wood to cook.

Ending child poverty begins with Samuel. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
