HOW is a 100% non-profit organization in pursuit of a stable socioeconomic foundation for the impoverished communities around the globe.
We are dedicated to getting every penny of your donation to the people who need it most!
We believe YOU can make a difference!
We believe they deserve the right to an education and the opportunity for a brighter future.
After the school is built we will help them build housing for more abandoned youth and then the health clinic.
YOU ARE HOW IT ALL HAPPENS…
This year we will be conducting an art and photography workshop for the orphaned youth at the All As One Orphanage in Freetown.
The exercises are designed for the children to non-verbally and verbally communicate and process their emotions and feelings, as well as learn techniques and tools to express themselves and grow in the world of art and education.
Sierra Leone is the third most under-developed country in the world. It has the second highest infant mortality rate. As a result of an eleven-year civil war, the country is still in the process of a complicated economic and social reconstruction phase. The instability of the government, social disorders and a broken economy produce the Sierra Leoneans’ daily strife.
This consists of poverty, hunger, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, other diseases and natural. It is leaving many, many children abandoned.
Their people lack means to all basic goods and necessities. And there is not enough to go around on a daily basis. When the founder of HOW traveled to Sierra Leone, he literally handed all his clothes from his backpack out to people on the streets, whose clothes were disintegrating from wearing them every day. You still witness many of the atrocities from war, such as missing limbs and demolished buildings.
