The plan is to provide five suitable 4x4 vehicles and equip them for the

They will be specifically equipped to fit the needs of NGO's and
maintenance abilities in that region. The vehicles are to go to "Help A
Needy Child" (HANCI) - a local Sierra Leone child protection
organisation - planning to reunite dispossessed families, and help war
orphans and street children into a more positive and secure future. Link
