We, SWSL, continue to care for People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) in Freetown. Today we embarked on the usual Sunday breakfast and lunch service, as a way to help them access nutritious food and address hunger among People Experiencing Homelessness and mental health challenges. Breakfast sponsors – Binta Bah, Ministry of Social Welfare, and our core breakfast sponsor – Red Lion. Lunch sponsors: Binta Bah, Ministry of Social Welfare, and our core lunch sponsor-Caritas Freetown.
A total of 150 PEHs received breakfast and a total of 105 PEHs received lunch. This weekly food service makes PEHs feel recognized and cared for by other members of society.
The sad reality is that the PEH numbers keep rising and the services for them to attain a normal life are still a big problem, like food, health, shelter, among other essential needs. Because of this, we stand up to help PEHs to get the help needed to secure their dignity.
Be a weekly or monthly sponsor and be a volunteer. We hereby express our sincere thanks to our sponsors and selfless volunteers. We remain committed to improving the conditions of PEHs, with your contribution and support. We practice ubuntu “ I am because we are”.
