The Ngolala (pronounced GWOL-uh) Village Partnership Program includes several villages surrounding the Children of the Nations Banta Ministry Center in Sierra Leone. These villages lacked medical care, clean water, and schools before partners like you began providing these things. Infant mortality and illiteracy are high in this part of Sierra Leone. The majority of people in this region come from a Muslim background, but traditional African spiritual practices (witchcraft, secret society rituals, and cultic activities) are also prevalent. Polygamy is practiced as well, resulting in large families with many children. Families support themselves primarily through subsistence farming. Because of partners like you, children in Ngolala and the surrounding villages have access to COTN’s Therapeutic Feeding Center, the Mallory Jansen Memorial School (primary and secondary education), and COTN’s medical clinic at our nearby Banta Ministry Center. COTN’s Church of the Nations, which has branches in several of these villages, is making a positive impact on the spiritual lives of the people as well. By partnering with sponsors like you, we seek to provide the children in this part of Sierra Leone with the resources and care they need to become well-rounded individuals. By equipping these children and their caregivers with tools for success, they will grow up to create positive change in their community and ultimately their nation.
