When presenting the items, the Acting National Coordinator of GRAND Edward Thomas Lassayo stated that before embarking on the donation the organization had done a needs assessment around the Western Area during which they concluded that the victims of the 2017 mudslides in Freetown were the most appropriate beneficiaries given that they had endured enormous physical, psychological and economic damages occasioned by the 2017 mudslides. 
He added that the donation was GRAND’s contribution towards the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in Sierra Leone.
