Visit to GRAFTON AMPUTEES CAMP

 

The Republic of Sierra Leone located in West Africa is a country whose  history constitutes so many years of war, pain, misery, post war traumas, frustrations and poverty in the lives of a majority of its citizens. This is a camp called the GRAFTON AMPUTEES CAMP situated in Freetown Sierra Leone,  that was reserved for the people who suffered amputation during the years of war in Sierra Leone. Unfortunately most of the amputees died due to lack of adequate medical attention  to care for their wounds and injuries. Most of the families of these amputees who died now live in this camp and they suffer lack of pipe borne water,  food scarcity and hunger problems like malnutrition, also they lack an income generating activity and live long skills to enable self sustainance. Continuing with the implementation of  project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY, Zion A Happy Home Foundation visited them on the 21st of June, 2020 with adequate food and  water supplies. We have taken up the initiative to rehabilitate the defunct tap you see in one of the pictures and  equally decided to empower some of them with live long skills at our newly created Zion A Happy Home empowerment centre in Kaningo Freetown Sierra Leone. Also  we shall sponsor some into business apprenticeship or petty trading as per their choices as our little way of erasing the old ugly memoires of the war times.
