Sponsor A Child

Mariama also known as Marie is a beautiful girl, who lives with her Aunt cousins in a farming community in the far north of Sierra Leone. Her village is hard to reach and lack safe drinking water and educational facility. They fetch water from the stream and near by swamps. They dwell in an old mud stick house of four bed rooms roofed with old zinc which has some leakages especially during the rains. She sometimes suffers from common cold as a result of the leakages from the roof. She sleep with her Aunt on a local bed with poor beddings. Her Aunt depend on farming as source of income, earning very little income less than US$420. Their annual income is not enough to take care of the home. She is attending primary school in the next village with her friends, they walked every day to and from school. She likes to play with baby doll made of wood. She is very popular among her peers as she loves to dance. The child is in good health at present. With sponsorship support, the child will have an opportunity to continue her education and achieve her dream.

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