power of one.

sama-wada development organization
"welcome queens with free hands and pleasant face. i am glad you have visited me and the poorest people of somaliland"
sama wada is an incredible woman.
she alone has rescued over 200 babies in the last 20 years.
due to religious and cultural influence, unmarried women who have a child are forced to abandon their babies after birth. many leave them in the bushes with the intention of allowing animals to eat them.
"i am their mother. and their father. i love them and they love me"
the face of love.
every child is given a home. food. clothing. and schooling.
here is one of sama wada's schools for her young children.
quite literally, the school under the tree.
women of the world unite.
we must be strong and support each other.
