Cotton Tree Foundation Feeds Children In Segbwema Town

The charity organisation, Cotton Tree Humanitarian Development Foundation was established many years ago on the platform of catering for the needy, poor and under privilege children across the country with goodies.
For the past eight (8) years, this charity organization has been supporting children in the Segbwema Township and patients at the Nixon Memorial Methodist Hospital during the Christmas festivities.
In continuation of this kind gesture, the organization on 25th December, 2024, which was Christmas Day, provided food, drinks and other gifts to children in that part of the country and patients at the Nixon Memorial Methodist Hospital. The aim was to ensure that the sick and children within the township are always happy during the festive season.
The food, drinks and other gifts, which cost thousands of leones, were received with great joy by the children and patients, who were also full of praised for the organisation.
The Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the organisation; Madam Fatmata Sillah together with his son; Sahr Bokarie Gborie and other members of the organization were on ground to deliver the goodies to the kids and patients.
Some of the kids said “We appreciate this kind gesture from the Foundation. They have been putting smile on our faces on a yearly basis and we feel happy and belong. It is our hope that this will continue for the foreseeable future.”
The kids and patients offered prayers for the organization for the much-needed support from donors to continue such an initiative and also provide other needed support to the children in the township and its immediate environs.
Founder and CEO of Cotton Tree Humanitarian Development Foundation, Madam Fatmata Sillah had this to say: “I have been doing this for the past eight years with my own little resources just to make the children happy and patients at the hospital feel belong. I have a passion of helping children particularly during the Christmas period.”
She spoke about plans to spread the gesture to other towns and communities across the country and also help in the area of donating school materials with the availability of funds from donors. Madam Sillah urged school children, especially those in the Segbwema Township to stay focus in school in order to be successful.
Son of the Founder and CEO, Sahr Bokarie Gborie talks to this medium about plans to work with other partners overseas order to expand the scope of the Foundation and also undertake livelihood projects for children, especially the donation of books to schools and scholarships to needy children.
“This Foundation was started by my mom but I have been at the background supporting her. I decided to come this year (2024) to see what has been happening so that we can find ways of expanding the work of the Foundation and also help school children. I am seeing a brighter future for the Foundation in the coming years, he said.
He spoke about plans to have a fundraising event in England to secure more funds to undertake life changing projects in Sierra Leone and also registered the organization in the UK.
