<<<<<<<<< Jerome lives with his widowed
mother in Ougabougou, Burkina Faso. There are 7 children in the family
and they live in a tow roomed hut. When his father died in 1995 his
mother was not able to provide enough food to feed the family at times.
His father was an only child so there was no possibility of support
from his family. Some of the children were at risk of becoming
vagrants. His mother became very depressed and could not cope with all
the stress and tried to commit suicide several times.
As well as supporting Jerome, ACT
is also sponsoring his older brother and a younger sister. The support
we give means the family are no longer destitute. Their widowed mother,
who is a Christian, knows that God has not forgotten them. Hope has
been restored to the family.
