The Ebola virus has affected every household in Sierra Leone as businesses were shut down and schools were closed causing an increase in orphans and teenage pregnancy.
I will be traveling to Sierra Leone to help distribute your donated items to our beneficiaries, share love and scout the land for Phase I of our building project: Build the foundation for our community and training center.
The facility will be built so women and youth can be trained in a skill that will allow them to gain independence and provide for the needs of their children and themselves (food, school fees, medical care, etc.) The facility will also include a library, computer center and tutoring center.
Poor education is a tragedy that has imprisoned people to poverty in Sierra Leone. Please help us to empower future Global leaders in Sierra Leone by clicking on the link to contribute to Empower Children in Sierra Leone GlobalGiving platform.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
