David age 11, Helen age 9, Nigeria – Education

Calabar, Nigeria: David, age 11, Helen, age 9, a brother and sister, were brought to the attention of our organization when their mother passed away suddenly from an unknown leg infection, for which she could not afford treatment. As the children were now orphaned, they were living in the brothel where their mother worked without anyone to care for them. We provided funding for a caregiver to look after them, ongoing food assistance, and school fees and supplies for one year so they can continue their education. Both children are very happy to be back in school and to have a safe place to return after each school day.
