In Sierra Leone, computer training is a game-changer for young women, providing them with the vital skills needed for today’s job market. Proficiency in Microsoft Office opens up new employment opportunities, supports their academic goals, and fosters self-sufficiency and confidence.
Thanks to your support, Jane was among the young women who recently received certificates for completing Microsoft Office training at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone Computer Lab.
She shared her inspiring story of starting the program without any knowledge of computers. “When I started, I didn’t even know how to turn on a computer,” she admitted. “Now, I can switch on the computer, create folders, type documents, save files, and do much more.”
Your ongoing support is transforming girls and young women into educated, empowered women. Monthly donations are especially impactful, helping girls pursue their education steadily. If you aren’t already a recurring donor, we invite you to consider joining us.
You can also support us by sharing this project with your network and inviting others to join this meaningful initiative. For any questions, feel free to reach out at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
Warmest regards,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
