Thanks to many generous donors, we have exceeded our 2022 goal of raising $25,000 to support transformative health and education services for children in West Africa!
Honoring Lois Wilson through this special appeal has served as a meaningful tribute to her many years of dedication to improving the lives of children in impoverished communities. Your donations ensure that we can continue to provide vital educational resources, health services, clean water, and essential nutrition programs where they are most needed.
With the support of your donations, we can work with our mission partners in Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone to:
- Help build a health clinic in an isolated rural community in Ghana
- Establish computer lab classrooms
- Launch a year-round feeding program that offers free meals to dozens of preschoolers and kindergarten-aged children
- Deliver quarterly food supplies to a school and orphanage in Sierra Leone
- Provide scholarships for needy students
- Support a part-time nurse at a school in rural Liberia
- Offer microloans and send used clothing for resale in local open-air markets
- Ship menstrual hygiene supplies to help keep girls in school
This has been a wonderful campaign and we want to thank everyone who has helped us honor Lois. In just 6 months we have raised more than our original goal and we look forward to our continued work of transforming the lives of children in Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
