Scan with Camera App to DonateBeing a first generation American I was always aware of my privilege of being born in the US and thought of how I can use my privilege to help those in need in Sierra Leone. Water is a basic necessity for all but clean water is not accessible to everyone all over the world. That includes people in Sierra Leone. The Water Project States that “The average life expectancy for a Sierra Leonean is only 56 years. One of the lowest in the world, much of this statistic can be blamed on poor living conditions. Almost half of the population is not using a protected water source for drinking. Most of the unsafe drinking sources are freestanding water, such as ponds, and unprotected wells.Infections and parasites , most found in contaminated water, lead to the largest cause of death in Sierra Leone. Poor sanitation generates high risk of hepatitis A and Typhoid fever. Stillwater breeds malaria-carrying mosquitoes that plague the region with one of the most common deadly infections contracted in the area.” With the help of you we can change this and give the gift of water to those in need in my home.
