Madam Musu Lelleh’s husband died five years ago in their remote village of Mondagba, “leaving nothing behind for the poor widow to fall back on for the welfare of her three children,” reported Pastor Rogers.

Given her family’s dire circumstances, Madam Musu was among the 75 women and youth selected to be trained and provided with tools as part of the women and youth empowerment project implemented by FHDO with funding made possible by the supporters of Bread and Water for Africa®.

Pastor Rogers told us that she had been involved in groundnut farming for many years, but harvested so little she could barely feed her children and herself, not to mention footing the education bill for her children.

She describes the training, tools and supplies she received as “Godsent and very timely,” and says it motivated her to start planting multiple crops in addition to groundnuts.

“She has been able to sell her wares and raise money not only to feed the children but also to fund the school bills and get her children back to school as they had dropped out due to lack of money,” he told us.

“She expressed her sincere gratitude to God, Bread and Water for Africa® and FHDO for coming to her rescue with her children.”
