As we all know, regular hand washing is essential to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. 

Many communities, however, do not have the needed resources to enable this. 

With this in mind and thanks to your support, we provided 3 veronica buckets and liquid soap to the Girl Pikin for Betteh Girl’s Club at Ghana compound, Beach Road, Freetown. The compound houses over 500 people. These buckets are in great demand and will be very useful.

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 helping reverse deforestation in Freetown, Sierra Leone.  The photo below was taken just this morning on Bathurst Highway.  The photo here was taken in June of 2018 when the seedlings were planted. 

Based on the two photos you can see the great improvement in the growth of the trees. 

The Corona Virus (also known as COVID-19) is disrupting the lives and livelihood of lives globally. 

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.
