Mariama's Off to College

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Happy New Year! We are truly grateful for the #YearEnd support we received!!

We asked for your help to send Mariama to college and your support made it possible for Mariama to start college this semester.

Mariama made this video of gratitude to you saying

Thank you very much for the support you have given me this past year. You helped to pay my first-year tuition fees at the University. You’ve really helped me a lot and I’m very grateful. Thank you very much!

Your support is helping educate girls and young women in Sierra Leone, like Mariama. We invite you to keep helping change more girls' lives. Making a monthly donation is the most effective way to help girls get their education, but every dollar donated makes a difference.

Having a Period should not Prevent Girls from Going to school

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Menstruation shouldn't prevent a girl from getting her education.

Menstruation is associated with stigma and girls feel embarrassed, often excluding themselves from school and other social activities during their periods. Lack of access to functional and segregated toilets, limited information on menstrual hygiene management, and limited availability of sanitary materials to manage menstruation make it more difficult for girls to manage their periods. Unicef Link

Thanks to your support sanitary pads and reusable pads are being distributed to girls in need in Sierra Leone.

Additionally, your support has helped provide mentoring sessions and peer-to-peer counseling to help girls prepare for puberty and boost their confidence. Mentoring Sessions covered puberty, the physical and chemical changes and characteristics of menstruation, and adolescent reproduction and relationships.

This is positively increasing school attendance and helping our girls succeed.

We invite you to consider a year-end donation to help to continue to provide sanitary pads to girls in Sierra Leone each month.

If you are not yet a recurring donor, we warmly invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.

Please share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. Just copy and paste the below text on your social media or create your own text.

I support girls' education in Sierra Leone. Educated girls educate the entire nation. Learn how can make a difference too at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/educate-a-girl-educate-a-nation-sierra-leone/

If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org. We'd love to hear from you.

Together we are making a difference,

Amy and the Develop Africa team
