As part of our on-going improvement efforts, we encourage friends and supporters to visit our projects. Through these visits, Develop Africa partners and friends are able to experience first hand the impact that we are making together.
The feedback and comments received from these visits help us improve and provide better service.
Develop Africa supporters, Parker and Lisa visited the FAWE school in February this year. Parker joined the Board of Develop Africa in May this year.
They were excited to share with us their post-visit comments:
"We went to the FAWE School (Forum for African Women Educationalists), an all-girls school. We met with the headmistress and some of her staff and found them to be truly dedicated to their work, like many of those whom we met during our visit.
In our meeting, they highlighted the importance of Develop Africa’s support for the girls and the computer lab which Develop Africa funded. We had the opportunity to take a tour of the school and sit in on a class using the computers. The girls in the computer room also gave us a short presentation."
Your support is making this computer training possible.

Here are some additional comments from their trip:
"We arrived late at night and only caught a glimpse of the city on our way to the hotel. The following day we had the opportunity to explore the city and surrounding countryside. We had both been teachers in Kenya and traveled to many countries in the developing world, but were humbled by a new level of poverty that we hadn’t experienced. During our stay in the country, we came to understand better how the ravages of the civil war and Ebola still affect the country and how organizations, such as Develop Africa, make a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives."
We greatly appreciate your support, which is making a meaningful difference for young ladies in Freetown. We are so thankful for the recurring donors that continue to make a difference in young ladies' lives!
If you are not yet a recurring donor than we warmly invite you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.
Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
If you have any questions or are interested in visiting our projects next year, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy & The Develop Africa Team
