Under the Hungry and Needy Project, the Church in South Germany funded relief projects in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Ivory Coast.
It will be recalled that over the years, the Jorg Wolf Foundation through the NAC, has been touching the lives of many Sierras Leoneans and notable among them are their timely interventions during the Ebola outbreak and also the Covid-19 outbreak in Sierra Leone.
The Church has been engaging in charity for the betterment of mankind and to share the love of Christ. The donation was made to alleviate the burden and economic hardship on less privileged people who are surviving on begging or donation from people.
Sierra Leone was ranked as the second poorest country in the world beating Burundi according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Such Donations from the church wiped away tears from beneficiaries who were struggling to feed their families.
At the Maselleh Village the donations were made in the presence of the Church Apostles and community stakeholders, the beneficiaries sang and danced as the items were handed over to them. Madam Sallaymatu Conteh revealed that people hardly reached their location due to bad road network but praised NAC for bracing through the odds to get to them.
She assured the Church that the items will be used for their intended purpose and prayed that they be remembered again for a similar donation.
At the Norwegian Amputee Camp, persons with disabilities warmly welcomed the team with songs and danced to show their appreciation to the church’s kind gesture. They thanked the team for choosing their camp and meeting their needs which is essential for their survival.
In Kono District at the Bendu Vulnerable group, beneficiaries were surprised to receive as they explained the difficulties they are facing for shelter and food to eat. Orphans cried as messages of hope were given to them from the Church team to believe in God and to know that Jesus loves them and will always make way for them.
They thanked the Church for making their Easter dreams come to reality by putting food on their table.
