Educate a Girl, Educate a Nation - Sierra Leone

We greatly appreciate your ongoing support for girls’ education in Sierra Leone. Thanks to you, more girls are getting the computer training they need for success in today's technology-driven environment, like Marian & Augusta.

Marian & Augusta benefitted from computer classes on Microsoft Office at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone Computer Lab in Freetown. 

Augusta & Marian were both very thankful for the computer training and said-

My name is Augusta. I want to say thank you to Develop Africa for my computer scholarship. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Marian. I want to say a very big thank you to Develop Africa for the computer scholarship you gave me. I'm very very happy. I'm beyond grateful. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

On January 24th we celebrated the International Day of Education with the theme being To invest in people, prioritize education.

Education is a proven way to alleviate poverty and bring lasting change. 

Your ongoing support is helping prioritize girls' education.  You are bringing lasting change and empowering girls like Elizabeth. In early December, we shared about Elizabeth's acceptance letter to start college.  She was delighted to recently receive her first year's tuition so she could start school. She expressed her gratitude for her college tuition saying-

I want to say a very big thank you to you all for providing for my first-year tuition fee. I will use this to pay for my course of study which is BSE in nursing-midwifery and it’s a course where you will save lives and help the sick. Thank you so much.
