What People Saying About Caritas Freetown
"I'm grateful for the support," Yayah Said Kabia with a smile.'
"The cash transfer has been a blessing. We've been able to start over and look towards a brighter future."
"My name is Aminata Kamara. I come to Christ The King Hospital because I receive proper treatment, and I'm also drawn to the cleanliness and decency of the hospital. There are other hospitals around, but I prefer to come to Christ The King Hospital. I stay in Fonike, and I pay a transportation fare of Le10.00 whenever I want to come to the hospital."
"Caritas Freetown and Trocaire empower vulnerable women, like Madam Binta Bah, through transformative training. Binta's success story speaks volumes: 'Thanks to Caritas Freetown Justice and Peace Commission and Trocaire, I have found my voice and strength. I now run a thriving small business and actively work towards preventing violence against women. The training empowered me to participate in electoral processes, ensuring that our voices are heard. Together, we are making a difference in our communities.' Their mission sparks lasting change and shapes a better future."
"Zainab Kamara, a recipient of support from Caritas Freetown and Manos Unidas, expressed deep gratitude on behalf of all the beneficiaries. She thanked them for commemorating International Women's Day by providing a meaningful gift. Zainab emphasized that Caritas is an organization that consistently prioritizes the needs of people during times of crisis. After experiencing a devastating fire incident, Zainab found herself in despair as all her clothes were destroyed, and she had to be hospitalized. However, upon returning home, she was surprised to find that she received not only new clothing but also other essential items that helped restore her dignity as a woman. Zainab expressed her heartfelt appreciation for these provisions, stating that they have brought a renewed sense of hope and empowerment to her life."
