Sponsor A Child

Rugiatu also called Rugie is a beautiful girl, who lives with her parents, two brothers and two sisters in a farming community in the far north of Sierra Leone. Her village is hard to reach and lack safe drinking water and good roads facility. They fetch water from the stream and nearby swamps. They dwell in an old mud stick house of two bed rooms roofed with old zinc which has some leakages especially during the rains. She sometimes suffers from cold as a result of the leakages from the roof. The child is in good health at present. Rugiatu sleep with her two sisters on a local bed with poor beddings. Her parents depend on farming as their main source of income, earning very little income less than US$420. Their annual income is not enough to take care of the home. She is attending school and she is doing well. Her best subject is science as she wants to become a nurse to help her family. She likes to play seek and hide game. She is very popular among her friends as she likes to dance to local songs.
