"In as much as we're aware that Sierra Leone, like other Nations across the world is facing major economic and social challenges as a result of the novel Corona virus pandemic, almost everybody at this point in time needs help but in such a crucial moment the less-previledged class of society needs it the most. This is why our charitable organization thought it wise to put together some amount for some of the less-previledged groups in our home town, just as the saying goes Charity begins at home.
He narrated further that: they initiated such a humanitarian program this year for a start with hopes high to make it a routine inorder to help salvage the problem of hunger during every Eid-Ul-Fitr.
Thanks to our founder, Abubakarr Sulku Kamara and friends in the U.S for helping us achieve this index project." He remarked.
Each of the project beneficiary happily expressed gratitude and offered prayers to Sulku Foundation and friends for putting smiles on their faces in such a trying moment.
