Disaster Relief for Sierra Leone

AME MISSION HOUSE DESTROYED IN MUDSLIDE

The flooding and mudslide that occurred on August, 2017 was a catastrophic tragedy for the people residing in Sierra Leone. The victims of this act of nature caused numerous residents to lose everything—if they survived.  Sadly, over 1,000 did not! The stories of devastation are many.  Each one is heart breaking. The effort to return to normal is extremely difficult, following such a tragic event. Today, many victims remain homeless, hopeless, and alone, as they do not have the basic necessities of food, hygiene items or housing.  Sadly, many children are orphaned. 

YOUR SUPPORT, over the past months, has ensured the provision of essential and much needed basic supplies to families in need in Sierra Leone. Our major project is to rebuild, the totally destroyed, AME Mission House which was located in the path of the mudslide.  Previously, The Mission House, a one level, one family, low-rent property, was used to house AME families in transition.  The good news is that the new property will accommodate three families.  There will be three levels, which will embody modern, fully equipped, two bedroom residences.  Indeed, a welcomed home setting, located in downtown Freetown, Sierra Leone. 

The cost to rebuild the structure is $55,000 US dollars.  Thanks to your generous donations thus far. To accomplish this essential need, an additional $20,000 is required.

Every contribution provides major assistance in completing this project which will empower families who will otherwise be denied.  Abundant favor for your willingness to make a positive difference –now.
