A Laptop, A Dream, A Brighter Future for Mariama

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Thanks in part to your generosity, students like Mariama are thriving in their educational journeys. Mariama, a Mass Communication student at Fourah Bay College, recently received a laptop—a critical tool to help her succeed.

With heartfelt appreciation, she shared: "Hello, I am Mariama and I am attending the Fourah Bay College studying Mass Communication. I want to say thank you to Develop Africa for the laptop. I really do appreciate it. It will help with my studies, for doing my research, and for my notes. So I want to say thank you, I really do appreciate it."

Your support is more than a donation—it’s an investment in girls' education, opportunity, and future success.

Join us TODAY for a powerful opportunity to double your impact, your gift of $100 or more will be matched by GlobalGiving while matching funds last.

Even better—if we raise enough, we could receive up to $1,200 in bonus prizes, helping us support even more girls like Mariama with tuition, laptops, and learning tools.

Matching began at 10:00 a.m. EDT and ends at 10:00 a.m. EDT on July 17. Be sure to give early for the biggest impact!

Together, we’re creating lasting change—one girl, one gift, and one future at a time.

With deep appreciation,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
