Working, but it is not enough...

*Some of the families below have monthly sponsors. Please check out the "Families Needing Sponsorship" tab on the home page, if you feel led to help a family.*

Some people that live in Korah do have work. Some clean clothes for other families, cook for other families, work as a laborer, sell recycled material that they find in the dump, or sell different things along side the road (like spices, injera, tea, fruits and vegetables). The thing is... it is not enough. Most make less than $1 per day. They work very hard, but still aren't able to provide the necessities for their family. I am talking about the basics... food, rent, medicine, school supplies...  $40 a month can help them immensely. It will give them food and rent for the month and allow them to focus on the other needs in their family.

Here is a market place right outside of Korah...
