Support to rescue a poor Muslim family in AFGHANISTAN from hunger and starvation

 The world today is plagued with racial differentiations, religious pluralism and the “help only those you know” syndrome. This greatly hinders people from genuinely showing love and reaching out to others in need whom they do not know in other parts of the world. Zion A Happy Home Foundation takes its ongoing project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY that was launched in the Republic of Sierra Leone on the 7th of June 2020, to the Middle East, precisely the Islamic Republic of AFGHANISTAN, by rescuing from near death due to hunger and starvation this Muslim family consisting of a widow and her four kids, who lost their husband/father to the bloody gun battle in their country. Thanks to our Facebook page – Zion A Happy Home Foundation, someone directed them to us and they requested for our help. This family lives in a deplorable condition sharing just a room as their entire home. Their poor mother who does nothing can not afford to feed nor educate her children and has no money or property to sustain them. We are grateful to have been of help to them. We won’t hesitate to do more. If we must make the world a much better place, we need to make it a collective duty to lend a hand of love to the unloved, the dejected and abandoned worldwide that we do not know. Partner with us and make this dream a reality.

Free vocational training center for the underprivileged at Kaningo Juba, Sierra Leone goes operational

 Zion A Happy Home Foundation says a very big THANK YOU to all who have played a part in this great charity initiative. Most importantly we thank Sierra Leoneans who have helped us get this far, because a hand does not tie a bundle. Your hospitality and efforts went a long way to assist us make things move peacefully. We thank the Sierra Leonean government, their security forces and citizens for their massive support offered to Zion A Happy Home Foundation. Words can’t thank you enough.

The aim of this center is to train youths, school drop outs who do not want to pursue academics anymore, adults and parents for free to learn a trade, be it tailoring, hair dressing, Information Technology, arts and craft, decoration, barbing and catering. Enabling them make an honest living, become viable and sustainable enough to feed their families, be able to afford sending their children to school, and foot their bills.

As our center goes operational, we appeal to everyone all over the world that our biggest challenge is to see that the teachers teaching at this center are well remunerated. Ensure the center is well equipped and managed. And this can be made easy when we join hands to achieve this goal. Reason being that a rich man is not known by the size of his bank account or assets, but by how far he can impact lives and cause someone who can’t help himself smile. And riches is not only money, it can be spiritual, material and moral. The role you play in the lives of people determines how far you go in life and how GOD classifies you as his own son or daughter. Because scriptures affirms this in Proverbs 19:17 and 1st Peter 4:8.

Join hands with us and lets extend to all districts in Sierra Leone. After, we will continue in Bamenda, Kumba and Maroua in Cameroon. We are grateful for all the kindness and love extended towards Zion A Happy Home Foundation. GOD bless you all immensely. Thank you!

Football campaign and seminar to kick corona virus out of Sierra Leone

Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. How does it spread?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth. However, despite all these explanations many still take this pandemic for granted. Zion A Happy Home Foundation through a football campaign, held an educative seminar and organized a football match at Kaningo juba, to sensitize citizens of this community about;

• Covid-19 pandemic is real, the way it is spread, and the dangers associated with it.
• To educate people on preventive measures to adopt so that the virus won’t be widely spread.
• Always stay home and practice limited movements outdoors except they have something important to do.
• Wear nose mask in case they are to step out of their homes, or when in the midst of people.
• Practice basic hygiene of always washing hands with soap and running water.
• Use hand sanitizers if available.
• Watch out on what they eat, how they dress and the things to do. Avoid crowded gatherings.
• If you hear noise outside avoid going there.
• Avoid close contacts with people.

Zion A Happy Home Foundation is taking this sensitization campaign to the suburbs so that Sierraleone and the world atlarge can be free from Corona virus if people stay home, keep away from others, respect social distance.

Football campaign to say no rape Sierra Leone

Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent or approval.
Rape is the “most alarming” problem against humanity Sierra Leone is faced with. It is a despicable inhumane act that often results in victims suffering from physical as well as psychological long and short term effects like Bruising, Bleeding (vaginal or anal), Depression, prolonged sadness, mental disabilities, sexual transmissible infections, diseases and death. The case of the 5 year old girl Kadijah Saccoh who lost her life to rape some weeks ago triggered heightened tension, vexations and calls for justice in Sierra Leone and all over the world. Because of this incident, the president of Sierraleone has opened up a special criminal court to handle perpetrators of this wicked crime. A positive step highly applauded nationally and worldwide, in the advocacy against rape in Sierra leone. In conjunction to this global advocacy plan, Zion A Happy Home Foundation recently launched a football campaign and conveined sensitization conferences in different locations in Sierra Leone under the theme ” SAY NO TO RAPE IN SIERRA LEONE”, while joining voices with the first lady of Sierra Leone in her national advocacy against this devilish stigmatizing act called rape with the slogan “TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OUR GIRLS”, targeted at men because rape is killing many great female destinies, leaders and people who could lift their families and the image of the nation. During these conferences, females were educated on;

• Rape as a societal problem totally against humanity.
• The need for more girls to acquire education and help build a strong advocacy platform.
• Women, men, as well as parents should be disciplined, and also discipline their children especially young females who are more vulnerable.
• Females should avoid men they don’t know.
• Avoid going to hidden places with men.
• Avoid keeping late nights, and doing late night visits.
• Avoid collecting gifts from people they don’t know or have never seen.

Join ZAHAHF, and SAY NO TO RAPE IN SIERRA LEONE. DONATE or PARTNER with us in taking this cry across the country and to other nations.

Football campaign and sensitization seminar to empower the underprivileged in Sierra Leone

The Republic of Sierra Leone is a country with a significantly high rate of underprivileged persons. According to the Sierra Leonean multidimensional poverty index 2019 profile published by Oxford Human Development (OPHI), Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, Statistics Sierra Leone and UNDP, indicates that 64.8% of the population in Sierra Leone was multidimensionally poor in 2017. The Southern and Northern regions had the highest poverty rates with 76.0% and 75.8% respectively, while the Western region had the lowest poverty rate of 36.2%. At the District level, Pujehun recorded the highest incidence of poverty. The profile also notes that female-headed households had higher multidimensional poverty rates (65.9%) compared to male-headed households. Guided by this survey, Zion A Happy Home Foundation adopted as objective to empower any individual who falls in the category of an underprivileged Sierra Leonean. We held conferences on empowerment at different locations in Sierra Leone as well as football matches via which we educated the less privileged on;

• sustainable way to end their misery, poverty and hopelessness.
• Poverty alleviation by getting them enrolled to learn a trade or into schools, apprenticeship schemes and empowerment centers.
• Pledged to provide food and water supplies like we’ve been doing to underserved communities.
• Petty trading. This petit trade they do will make them raise money and send their children to school and put food on their tables.
• Our future plans of providing adequate shelter, food, and jobs for them.

We equally pledged to support the poor, street children and school drop outs return back to school.
So far we have succeeded in building businesses for 50 youths, who have now raise good capitals.

DONATE or PARTNER with us and make this vision a reality.

Football Campaign to use Agriculture as
a means of Alleviating Poverty

On the 8th of July, 2020 Zion A Happy Home Foundation organized a sensitization  seminar under the theme “ZION A HAPPY HOME FOUNDATION FOOTBALL CAMPAIGN TO USE AGRICULTURE AS A MEANS OF ALLEVIATING POVERTY IN SIERRA LEONE. This conference took place at Kaningo Juba neighbourhood, and it brought together 130 youths between the ages of 15 to 35years old. The  objective of this conference was to sensitize these youths through football campaigns how they can make agriculture their source of livelihood and the hope for the future we long create. Also, these youths were drilled on the importance of agriculture in the world and the vital role it plays especially in 3rd world economies and that of Sierra Leone in particular.  According to www.usaid.gov/ Sierra Leone, Agriculture ( including forestry and fisheries) is the mainstay of the Sierraleonean economy, employing over 60% of the labour force mostly at the subsistence level. Zion A Happy Home encouraged youths to farm Rice and Cassava which are the main staple foods of the country, while Cocoa, coffee, oil palm and cashew nuts are the major cash crops. For a start, Zion A Happy Home Foundation envisages sponsoring over 4000 youths financially while providing them with the necessary agricultrural implements required for the cultivation of these aforementioned crops. Join us by either partnering, donating or sponsoring this journey of transformation aimed at facilitating the growth and development of Sierra Leone through its youths. And equally reducing unemployment and its related quagmires.

Visit of amputee women of WATERLOO AMPUTEES CAMP

This is the WATERLOO AMPUTEES CAMP located in Freetown. It is a new settlement allocated by the Sierra Leonean government to serve as a residential camp  for victims who suffered amputation of either their hands or legs during the period of war. The camp harbours these victims as well as their family members. Giving that we had visited this camp previously, and carried out a need assessment for the people living there,  and  continuing with the implementation of project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY, Zion A Happy Home visited for a second time women victims of amputation with food and water supplies. Because we believe it is a collective responsibility for us to help the Sierra leonean government in any way best possible to provide assistance to  underprivileged categories.

Visit to GRAFTON AMPUTEES CAMP

The Republic of Sierra Leone located in West Africa is a country whose  history constitutes so many years of war, pain, misery, post war traumas, frustrations and poverty in the lives of a majority of its citizens. This is a camp called the GRAFTON AMPUTEES CAMP situated in Freetown Sierra Leone,  that was reserved for the people who suffered amputation during the years of war in Sierra Leone. Unfortunately most of the amputees died due to lack of adequate medical attention  to care for their wounds and injuries. Most of the families of these amputees who died now live in this camp and they suffer lack of pipe borne water,  food scarcity and hunger problems like malnutrition, also they lack an income generating activity and live long skills to enable self sustainance. Continuing with the implementation of  project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY, Zion A Happy Home Foundation visited them on the 21st of June, 2020 with adequate food and  water supplies. We have taken up the initiative to rehabilitate the defunct tap you see in one of the pictures and  equally decided to empower some of them with live long skills at our newly created Zion A Happy Home empowerment centre in Kaningo Freetown Sierra Leone. Also  we shall sponsor some into business apprenticeship or petty trading as per their choices as our little way of erasing the old ugly memoires of the war times.

Curb down unemployment Sierra Leone

Like the Republic of Cameroon, the Republic of Sierra Leone faces significant unemployment problem projected to reach 4.90 percent by the end of this year 2020. Project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY launched on the 7th of June 2020 by Zion A Happy Home Foundation also holds as objective attempting to curb down unemployment in Sierra Leone. Implementing this  objective on the 10th of June, 2020 at Kabassa Lodge Juba in Freetown, we brought together poor idle people and people with special needs who lack a means of livelihood but are willing to do something from all the 16 districts that make up Freetown the capital city. These people were not given money. Rather we empowered them with food stuffs and a variety of house hold goods to be used for petty trading as their own means of survival. Zion A Happy Home Foundation plans to extend this activity into all the remaining provinces that sum up the Sierra leonean territory.

Visit to Variety Children and Family Services Orphanage

Charity is the main activity of Zion A Happy Home Foundation. Caring for orphans and rendering assistance to enable orphanages provide quality care for orphans is one of our prime objectives. Motivated by the huge success recorded so far with our 3 mother projects in Cameroon, HELP A NEEDY, LOVE IN ACTION and KINDNESS IS UNITY respectively that spanned from 2015 to 2019. We decided to extend our activities to another West African nation the Republic of Sierra Leone. On the 7th of June 2020, Zion A  Happy Home Foundation launched project KINDNESS TO HUMANITY in Sierra Leone. The first objective of this project is to provide assistance to orphanages in need across the country. One of the orphanages we reached out to with food and other consumables is Variety Children and Family Services Orphanage located at King Tom in the capital city Freetown.

Support to the blind in Sierra Leone during COVID-19

The outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic has led to a serious economic recession across the globe and Sierra Leone in particular is badly affected. Most underprivileged persons, communities, and groups find it extremely difficult to feed. And many even go for days without food. Serving as a strong source for food to eradicate hunger in underserved communities being part of our mission, we were able with the aid of some individuals to identify the Milton Margai School for the Blind located at Wilkinson Road in Freetown as one of the institutions in need. This school lacks food to feed its blind students, a vocational training center and adequate funding. Responding to this plight, Zion A Happy Home Foundation visited them on the 7th of June 2020 with food to last them a while. And we pledged to be of more assistance to the school, not just in solving their feeding problems but equally financing the institution so that the visually impaired can be well cared for.

Malaria NO MORE in Sierra Leone

Malaria is endemic in Sierra Leone. The country’s entire population is at risk of the disease and it is one of Sierra Leone’s leading causes of death and illness. Malaria is the reason behind nearly four in ten hospital consultations countrywide.

Children under five are at high risk of malaria.
Young children are particularly susceptible to infection, illness and death from malaria. In Sierra Leone, the disease contributes to close to an estimated twenty percent of child mortality. The 31st of May 2020 witnessed the launching of Project MALARIA NO MORE in SIERRA LEONE.This novel project of Zion A Happy Home Foundation targeted the distribution of Mosquito nets to 50 families in the Bonga Ton slum community in Freetown.

Success Story

Mr. Julius is a 32 years old small scale entrepreneur based in the North West Region of Cameroon. His story is quite motivating. Zion A Happy Home Foundation met him in Kumba in 2016 at a very critical moment in his life. He was seriously sick, bed ridden and abandoned all alone to face death, added to the fact that he was an orphan. We began praying for him and miraculously God healed him. Though restored healthwise, he had no money and nothing to begin life with. But fortunately for Mr. Julius this was at the time we just launched project GESTURES OF GOODWILL – SELF SUSTAINABILITY, that aimed at empowering the poor and under privileged with a sustainable economically rewarding activity. We mobilized funds and opened him a mobile money transfer and credit vendor agency to enable him find his footing financially. Over the years we’ve expanded his business and he is now able to do mobile phone repairs. Interestingly, he is a happily married man now.

Christmas Charity

Christmas is that special time of the year when we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Zion A Happy Home Foundation holds as custom celebrating this special period with the poor and under privileged. Providing for their needs and offering them Christmas gifts as a way of showing love to humanity. Our 2019 Christmas Charity brought together 30 women, 28 men and 40 children. Muslims and Christians alike from Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad Republic. This hub of persons was characterized by the homeless, street beggars, the handicapped, visually impaired, and the sick.
