On International Women’s Day, Ladies with Vision interacted and donated certain items amidst words of inspiration to inmates of the Western Area Rural Correctional Service.
The day which was celebrated last Sunday 8th March 2020 saw Ladies with Vision in their full gear interacting with female inmates at the Pre-trial detention and stimulation center in Kissi Town, Waterloo. Ladies with Vision continued their “Each for Equal” activism on that day.
The ladies took along food and non-food items for the female inmates as well as inspired them to be strong despite the fact that their freedom of movement is been restricted which according to them is not end of their lives.
Ladies with Vision’s Founder and President, Madiana Mensah-Gborie expressed the view that they are feeling the way the inmates are feeling underscoring how they are with them to demonstrate love and care.
She expressed thanks to God for enabling them to meet the needs of the female inmates and promised that their visit will not be the first and last but one that will be coming. “We need to celebrate you and we will continue to do more not only on International Women’s Days,” she intimated.
Ladies with Vision is a non-profit organization comprising hardworking and highly motivated females working together to ensure national development by inspiring and empowering vulnerable communities in Sierra Leone.
Ladies with Vision team educated and inspired the inmates saying they believe in women. “We believe in our strength to conquer every situation and we believe that no matter your situation, you deserve equal opportunities to basic needs just like other normal women.”
Kadiatu Bangura took the inmates through nutrition while Mrs. Nanah Kamara spoke about hygiene and Safinatu Hashim spoke on stress management among other speakers.
