The last two months have been difficult for the entire world. Like many of you, we are learning how to adjust and work during COVID-19.

As of today, Djibouti, with a population of one million people, has felt the impact of the Coronavirus even more. The official count released by the government is now over 4,500 with 43 deaths.

Thankfully, L.I.F.E. received a shipment of food relief such as, rice, lentils, and MannaPacks right before the lockdown. We have been distributing these items with help from friends and other partner organizations, focusing on the most vulnerable people.

We have also been able to sew masks for healthcare workers, people in our neighborhoods, and more. Several of our sewing students have also been sewing masks for those who need them.

In our athletic programs, we serve 84 boys and girls, and 30 women in our sewing classes. This means we personally reach over 700 individuals through the family units. This doesn't count the hundreds of others, we have been able to help through friends and partners.

Because of your donations, we can encourage these families and serve them faithfully.
