According to one of the beneficiaries, Adama Kallon of Kailahun District, she was happy to be part of those that benefited from the donation as her means of survival is begging from house to house with her younger daughter.
She explained that due to the restrictions on movement of people, life has become extremely difficult for her as she use her daughter to make ends meet.
“My daughter will help neighbors with their house work and at the end of the day whatever is given to her is what we will use to feed themselves”, says Madam Kallon.
At the Kailahun Amputee camp, beneficiaries were glad in joy as the items were handed over to them. They said the Church is the first religious organization that has reached out to them this difficult moment.
