Sara is Thankful for the Educational Support

By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support has made a lasting impact on Sara's life. She became pregnant during the Ebola crisis and had to drop out of school, but because of generous donors like YOU, she was able to continue her education and is now in her last year of studying business management! She tells us about her journey with Develop Africa in this video-

My name is Sara. I got pregnant during the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. Because of my condition at that time I was neglected by my family and friends so I decided to drop out of school

Thanks to Develop Africa Sierra Leone who came to my rescue and enrolled me at the Creating Pathways Centre where I benefitted greatly from school, counseling, computer study, and some tutoring

After I got credited from the Centre, Develop Africa Sierra Leone continued to sponsor me where I am presently studying business management at the National Center for Vocational Study. I just promoted to my final year.

I am very much grateful because I am one step from achieving my dream of becoming an administrator. I want to say a very big thanks to Develop Africa Sierra Leone for keeping my dream alive.

We greatly appreciate your support, which is helping young ladies get their education like Sara. Your continued support is truly changing not only individual girls lives but also the entire nation. We warmly invite you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. This is the best way to ensure an ongoing impact. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

With great appreciation,

Amy & The Develop Africa Team
