Ginger Hall community in the east of Freetown, on 12 February, 2021, received a donation of street lights from Sierra Leone’s Diaspora Affairs Coordinator in the United States of America, Madam Rachel Monjama Horner.
According to Madam Horner, beneficiaries of the first phase of her support to Ginger Hall are Fattarahman Street, Bockarie Lane , Savage Square and Blyden Lane communities.
‘I want everyone in the community to enjoy the light, especially for those that can’t afford electricity and also for the youth and young men and women to stay together as one and in good company during the night,” she said.
